Chuck Berry took country, combined it with blues, and made a whole new genre. You might have heard of it. Rock n’ Roll…

The new album, Chuck, is Berry’s first new album in 38 years. The album is scheduled for release in 2017 on the Nashville label, Dualtone.

John Lennon once said, “If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it ‘Chuck Berry’.”

This is now a “must go next year and bring my friends with me” event.

This year’s headliners included John Mayall, Charlie Musselwhite, and slide masters Roy Rogers and Sonny Landreth together.

“If you have anything you would be willing share with us, we would love to talk with you about it.”

“Over the course of a very fruitful career, he has continued to paint vivid, engaging, pointed images of the lives we live…”

Part of the adventure is finding your own golden musical nuggets in this great city.

Those wishing to do so can donate to a GoFundMe page set up In Memory of “Killer” Ray to help with related expenses.

To not see his live performance would be cheating yourself of the opportunity to hear today’s soul of the blues.
