𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲! 😮🎸 Buddy Guy closing out the Chicago Blues Fest for the last time was a core memory. During this performance at the completely full Millennium Park over the weekend, the city officially proclaimed Sunday to be "Buddy Guy Day." The 87-year-old, 8-time Grammy Award-winning blues icon played the festival as part of his Damn Right Farewell Tour, making this Blues Fest his last one ever as a performer. 🎥: _samjanas via IG | Choose Chicago

No one does it better than Buddy Guy! The Chicago blues legend just wrapped up his 2026 January residency at Buddy Guy's Legends in the South Loop. The next day, the 89-year-old won his 9th Grammy Award for "Best Traditional Blues Album." 🤯 Buddy was also, of course, part of the soundtrack for the movie "Sinners," which took home two Grammy Awards this week. Just like the city of Chicago, Buddy Guy is truly never done and never outdone. 📍 Buddy Guy's Legends, 700 S Wabash Ave, Chicago #NeverOu
