The guitarist, not the politician. It’s fair to say that Buddy Guy is the among the best, if not the best Blues artist in the world. With all due reverence, he’s eclipsed BB King as the ambassador of the Blues and as he continues to make great records and sell out shows into his late 70s. The show is close to a sell out tomorrow night as he returns to the Park Theatre in Cranston. Buddy’s apprentice, teen guitar whiz Quinn Sullivan opens.

It’s an all-Miles show including a complete performance of the greatest jazz album ever made, Kind of Blue. Tickets are $18, show starts at 8PM.
