WATCH: Chicago guitar great Lurrie Bell making very special appearance at Damon Fowler's Sugar Shack Mondays show/webcast from Aces in Bradenton

UPDATED 5/17: I don't think in my decade of writing about music have I ever seen a place so packed on a Monday as Aces Live in Bradenton last night.

The great Lurrie Bell — making a very special appearance at Damon Fowler's Sugar Shack Mondays — rocked the house as did the Damon Fowler Group, who were then joined by Bell.

Here are the links to see for yourself:

It has been nearly six months since the debut of Damon Fowler's Sugar Shack Mondays at Aces Live in Bradenton.

I cohost the webcasts, conducting the mid-set interviews, and can honestly say I look forward to the event every week.

But this Monday should prove especially memorable with special guest Lurrie Bell.

A legend in his native Chicago, he's one of the greatest blues guitarists alive.

Seriously, I'd put Bell up there with Eric Clapton, etc.

Bell's an emotive vocalist, as well.

Dig:







Bell has lived an amazing, poignant life. Read the compelling (definitely not your typical PR-fluff) "Lurrie's Story" from his official website.

Blind Pig recording artist the Damon Fowler Group will also be performing, making this a must-see Monday night event.

Did I mention it's free?

See ya there — I'm stoked — or watch the webcast.
