CHICAGO BLUES REUNION featuring Barry Goldberg, Nick Gravenites, Corky Siegel and Harvey Mandel is a collaboration of Chicago music legends who defined the sound of their generation in the 1960’s – and helped create the historic transition in popular music from acoustic folk to electric blues-influenced rock.

Barry Goldberg performed with Bob Dylan and founded the Barry Goldberg/Steve Miller Band. Barry also wrote the hit, Got to Use My Imagination for Gladys Night and the Pips.  

Corky Siegel is one of the world’s top blues harp masters, founder of the Siegel-Schwall Band with Blues icon Sam Lay, and creator of the national award-winning Chamber Blues project.

Gary Mallaber is the quintessential percussionist. He's worked with Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison, the Steve Miller Band, Eddie Money, Jackson Browne and Bonnie Raitt.

Harvey Mandel is one of the best electric guitarists in the world. He's recorded with the Rolling Stones, toured with John Mayall, and played with Canned Heat at Woodstock.

Nick Gravenites wrote the classic blues anthems: Born in Chicago for Paul Butterfield and Buried in the Blues for Janis Joplin. He founded the Electric Flag with late blues guitar legend Mike Bloomfield.

Rick Reed began performing with Paul Butterfield, and countless legends. His recent international tours have been with Fabulous Thunderbirds alumnus Kim Wilson.

Bugs Henderson & The Shuffle Kings

A guitarist who has enjoyed cult status for more than a decade, Henderson grew up in Tyler, Texas, close to the Louisiana border. By the early 60s, he was recording sessions at the town's Robin Hood Studios, where later, ZZ Top recorded their early albums.

Jimmy Thackery And The Drivers

Whether Jimmy Thackery headlines a festival in South Dakota or jams for hours in one of numerous blues bars that dot the musical landscape, he'll always unleash an intense volley of rockin' blues guitar guaranteed to leave crowds emotionally spent. His double edged guitar dynamics allow him to fire off tracer missiles, bend a note so it will fit under a limbo bar, run off dive bomber riffs, and find space within the trembling of one stinging note. "I put all my senses on hold and find the zone and follow what's inside. There's an electricity from your mind to your heart to your fingers. You just try and remember to breathe." Between constant road work with his own band, producing the latest record by his Arkansas friends, the Cate Brothers, recording Whiskey Store with Tab Benoit and touring in support and playing various Nighthawks reunions, Thackery's plate is overflowing, and that's exactly how Thackery likes life - Overflowing.
