  Lil' Ed and The Blues Imperials
Lil’ Ed Williams, although small in stature, is a true giant of the blues, and among the very last authentic West Side Chicago bluesmen.  Lil’ Ed boasts a direct bloodline to blues history — his uncle and musical mentor was the great Chicago slide guitarist and recording artist J.B. Hutto. According to The Chicago Tribune, “Williams represents one of the few remaining authentic links to the raucous but pure Chicago blues.” The Associated Press agreed, stating, “Williams fills Chicago’s biggest shoes with more
life and heat than anyone on stage today.”  Between the band's untamed
music, and Ed's flying leaps, backbending, and toe-walking through the
audience, it's no wonder the Boston Globe calls Lil Ed and the Blues
Imperials "the world's #1 house rockin' band"
