SUMMARY:Bobby Rush with Special Guest Teeny Tucker
DESCRIPTION:2x GRAMMY winning legend\, Blues Hall of Famer\, six-time Grammy nominee\, and 14-time Blues Music Award winner\, with cameo in the Netflix original Dolemite Is My Name starring Eddie Murphy\, and a recent Autobiography  \nDuring his renowned stage show Bobby Rush frequently jumps high into the air\, arms spread and legs tucked\, only to land gracefully and return without a hitch to his dazzling routine. It’s a move you might expect at a contemporary R&B show\, but it’s downright shocking when you realize that Rush is in his late 80s. \n“I never thought I would be here this long\,” says Rush. “I was 83 years old before I won a Grammy\, but it’s better late than never. I laugh about it\, but I’m so blessed and I surely never thought I’d be making a living doing what I’m doing. I’m not just an old guy on my way out.” \nHardly. Rush’s busy schedule includes headlining European festivals with his band and solo programs at venues including Jazz at Lincoln Center\, and he just recorded an album of brand new material\, All My Love For You\, coming out via his own label Deep Rush Records in collaboration with Nashville-based Thirty Tigers. Over the last several years he’s won a second Grammy\, re-recorded his 1971 hit Chicken Heads together with his old friend Buddy Guy and young blues star Christone “Kingfish” Ingram\, and written a critically acclaimed autobiography\, I Ain’t Studdin’ You: My American Blues Story. \nThat story began in rural Homer/Haynesville\, Louisiana\, where Rush—born Emmett Ellis\, Jr.—grew up on his family’s farm picking cotton\, tending to mules and chickens\, and living in a home without electricity nor indoor plumbing. He built his first guitar on the side of the family’s house out of broom wire\, nails\, bottles and bricks. \nThe blues\, Rush recalls\, provided “an escape from the cotton fields. You’d go out on Saturday night to the juke joints\, but then on Monday morning you’d go back into the cotton fields to work for your bossman.” \nHe left behind farm work to perform on the road with the Rabbit Foot Minstrels\, and as “Bobby Rush”—a name he took on out of respect to his father\, a minister—he toured the jukes and clubs of Louisiana\, Arkansas and Mississippi before settling in Chicago in the 1950s. Through singles on labels including Chess\, ABC and Philadelphia International and relentless touring Rush established an unparalleled reputation as an entertainer\, which later led to him being crowned by Rolling Stone magazine as King of the Chitlin’ Circuit\, the network of African American clubs that arose during the segregation era. \nSPECIAL GUEST STAR: TEENY TUCKER AND HER BLUES ALL-STARS BAND. \nMIDWEST’S QUEEN OF THE BLUES\, BLUES FOUNDATION AND BLUES BLAST AWARD NOMINEE\, and COLUMBUS BLUES HALL OF FAMER. \n \nFood & Bar: Our full food and drink menu will be available before and during the show.
