B.B. King Tour Dates Announced

Friday November 13, 2009

Blues guitarist B.B. KingWhew, I'll tell you what...blues guitarist B.B. King, at 84 years old, keeps up with an ambitious tour schedule that would exhaust an artist a quarter of his age. King has announced new tour dates that will take he and his band well into 2010, the blues legend still touring in support of his award-winning 2008 album, One Kind Favor.

Fellow blues giant Buddy Guy, a guitarist of no little talent himself, will join King in February 2010 for a month of sure-to-be-sold-out dates. While King, performing by himself and backed by his top-notch band, is worth catching every time he blows through your town, the rare opportunity to witness King and Guy performing together is a night that nobody should pass up when they get a chance!

Won’t be going to any live shows with BB anymore. Ever since I saw him forget the words to one of his signature song. I decided I don’t want to seem like that anymore. I want to remember him when he was in his prime. I have a DVD from one of his tours that I will continue to watch till I pass.

Saw him in Chico, CA last night 11/18/09. He did two hours and didn’t miss a beat or a word. He kicked ass!
