Carey Bell

When Carey Bell Harrington walks through the door, in walks quintessential Chicago blues harmonica. Moving to the Windy City (from Mississippi) in 1956; mentored by Big Walter "Shakey" Horton; sideman to Robert Nighthawk, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, and others, Carey Bell is one of the last of his generation who learned directly from the original blues masters. This is real-deal, old school Chicago blues at its very best. Do not miss.

Performing live: Sat. Feb. 12: Cumberlands; Sun. Feb. 13, 4pm: IOP Rec. Center.
