Friday, June 8 – Jay Pritker Pavilion
Throughout the day on June 8, the Chicago Blues Festival will celebrate the 65th Anniversary of Delmark Records and the independent label’s founder, Bob Koester. The festival will offer a lineup honoring 65 years of Delmark Record’s current and legendary blues artists with a tribute to Bob Koester and performances in honor of legendary Delmark artists that include: Sleepy John Estes by Corey Dennison and Gerry Hundt, Big Joe Williams by Jimmy Burns, Roosevelt Sykes by Ken Saydak, Bonnie Lee by Shirley Johnson, Willie Kent by Guy King, Jimmy Dawkins by Billy Flynn and Linsey Alexander, J.B.Hutto by Lil’ Ed and Dave Weld, Big Time Sarah by Demetria Taylor and Tomiko Dixon, Carey Bell by Lurrie Bell and Steve Bell, Magic Sam by Jimmy Johnson and Dave Specter, Junior Wells by Omar Coleman.

Also part of the Delmark Records family, the Corey Dennison Band will open the evening’s performances. Dennison honed his guitar skills for 12 years as a sideman to Carl Weathersby.
Saturday, June 9 – Jay Pritzker Pavilion
Marion Walter Jacobs, otherwise known as the legendary blues harpist Little Walter, arrived in Chicago in 1946 and played a huge role in shaping the city as the blues capitol of the world. Little Walter’s influence is inescapable in the music delivered by today’s blues harpists. In fitting tribute, many of these great harp players will gather for the evening’s final set, a Little Walter Tribute, featuring: Billy Branch, Corky Siegel, Rick Estrin, Sugar Blue, Magic Dick and The Sons of Blues featuring Billy Flynn and Sam Lay.
Willie Clayton began performing gospel music in church settings as a youngster and since the 1970s has become one of the greatest, gritty R&B and soul artists of his generation with a career spanning more than 40 years. Selwyn Birchwood will start the evening with his fiery guitar and gritty, unvarnished vocals. Birchwood is among the top blues artists today.
Sunday, June 10 – Jay Pritzker Pavilion
Grammy Award® winner and longtime friend of the Chicago Blues Festival Mavis Staples will close the festival on the final evening. No stranger to Chicago’s blues and gospel music communities, Staples has been bringing people together across genres and generations throughout her 60-year career. In 2017,Chicago Tribune music critic Greg Kot’s book I’ll Take You There: Mavis Staples, the Staple Singers, and the Music That Shaped the Civil Rights Era became the most recent One Book, One Chicago selection by the Chicago Public Library.
The “Real Deal” Kenny Neal is a second-generation southern Louisiana bluesman and a modern proponent of Baton Rouge swamp blues. His sizzling guitar work, sturdy harp and gravelly, aged-beyond-his-years vocals deliver the blues like no one else. Before Mavis Staples takes the stage, Fantastic Negrito will start the festival’s final evening of performance. His songs are born from a long, hard life channeled through black roots music and brought back by his musical forefathers, the Blues musicians of the Delta.
