Music from High Cotton 6/4 at 9 pm

For nearly 40 years together, Blues Hall Of Famers Lil’ Ed Williams and The Blues Imperials have been delivering gloriously riotous, intensely emotional, wickedly playful Chicago blues to audiences around the world. According to Guitar World magazine, “The band is a snarling boogie-blues machine.” The Chicago Tribune says, “Lil’ Ed Williams is a slide guitarist extraordinaire…electrifying and raucous. He represents one of the few authentic links to pure Chicago blues” Coming up this week on Music from High Cotton, you can enjoy an exciting concert recorded live at High Cotton Music Hall.  Tune in Thursday night, June 4 at 9pm on WUGA 91.7 and 94.5 FM.  Live stream at wuga.org.
