John Primer is a living legend. He has played with Junior Wells, Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters and Magic Slim. His experiences lead him to start his own band, The Real Deal, in the 90’s and he’s never looked back.
This Chicago Blues Hall Of Famer has been gracing our stage pretty much since this place has opened. It’s an honor every time he’s here. He returns this Sunday at an earlier show time (6pm) giving blues lovers a taste of the night life while getting them home and in bed for work in the morning.
Here’s a recent clip of John with The Antone’s All Star Band at Third Man Records. Ticket link in the comments.
