Tucked away at 2513 Seiferth Road (just off Highway 51 at Pflaum Road), Red Rooster has quickly become a favorite room for music listeners and performers alike. (And they have killer food, too, available when doors open at 5 p.m.) Help the club mark its first anniverary with two nights of top-notch blues. April 21 brings a visit by Chicagoland legend John Primer, who spent years playing nightly in clubs such as Theresa’s Lounge before hitting the road to play guitar with Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters and Magic Slim; since the mid-1990s Primer has led the Real Deal Blues Band. April 22 features hard-hitting Milwaukee quintet Altered Five, whose most recent album is the rollicking 2021 collection Holler If You Hear Me.
