In Chicago, a city overflowing with unrivaled blues talent, world-renowned Lilโ Ed & The Blues Imperials have been standing tall for almost 30 years. The bandโs big sound, fueled by Lilโ Edโs gloriously rollicking slide work and deep blues string bending, along with his rough-edged, soulful vocals, is as real and hard-hitting as Chicago blues gets. The Chicago Sun-Times says, โLilโ Ed & The Blues Imperials are the hottest purveyors of bottleneck boogie to come out of Chicago since Hound Dog Taylor.โLilโ Ed Williams comes to the blues naturally. His uncle, Chicago slide guitar king and master songwriter J.B. Hutto, taught him how to feel, not just play the blues. Nine albums and thousands of performances later, Lilโ Ed is now universally hailed as a giant of the genre. Lilโ Ed and The Blues Imperials - bassist (and Edโs half-brother) James โPookieโ Young, guitarist Mike Garrett and drummer Kelly Littleton - have remained together for nearly 30 years (an extraordinary feat for any group), the band fueling Edโs songs with their rock-solid, road-tested, telepathic musicianship.The band continues to bring their blistering Chicago blues to โEd Headsโ new and old. Their infectious energy, joyful showmanship and masterful playing have been honed to a razorโs edge by their many years together. Lilโ Ed, Pookie, Mike and Kelly have seen sports stars and presidents, musical fads and fashion trends come and go. Meanwhile, their fiery music has more than stood the test of time. โWeโre not band members,โ says Williams, โweโre family, and families stay together.โ Night after night, gig after riotous gig, the musical family called Lilโ Ed & The Blues Imperials bring their big, dynamic Chicago blues sound to fans across the country and around the world.Artist WebsitePlanning on seeing your favorite artist at Sellersville Theater?
