Reverend Raven, The Chain Smoking Altar Boys, and Westside Andy deliver straight-up, traditional blues with smoking grooves, hot harmonica, and smooth, stinging guitar. They perform originals alongside nods to legends like Slim Harpo, Little Walter, and the three Kings. Born and raised on Chicago’s South Side, Reverend Raven has been playing the blues since 1971. After a 15-year Navy stint, he landed in Milwaukee, forging a lasting partnership with harmonica great Madison Slim. A staple at Buddy Guy’s Legends for over 18 years, he’s shared stages with B.B. King, Koko Taylor, Junior Wells, and more, keeping the blues burning bright.
