CCAE, Escondido Presents Buddy Guy and Colin James

Five-time Grammy Award winner, legendary blues artist, and Blues Hall of Famer Buddy Guy is returning to the center for the 4th time! Buddy is a pioneer of the Chicago blues sound and has served as an influence to some of the most notable musicians of his generation. These legendary musicians include Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Ranked 30th in Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the “200 Greatest Guitarists of All-Time,” Buddy’s raw, ferocious, and unadulterated sound is a true pleasure for aficionados and genre newcomers alike.
With 19 studio albums, seven Juno Awards, 27 Maple Blues Awards, and multi-platinum record sales, Colin James has earned a spot in the pantheon of blues guitarists. Colin can burn hard with his blistering guitar, take it easy with a soulful ballad, or roll into an R&B groove anchoring it all in the blues. Colin has worked with some of the world’s most revered artists including, Bonnie Raitt, Albert Collins, Pops Staples, Robert Cray, Albert King, Keith Richards, Lenny Kravitz, ZZ Top, Mavis Staples, and of course – Buddy Guy.
