Praised as "the world's #1 houserockin' band," Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials pound out some of the rawest, roughest, toughest boogie and blues music ever heard. Lil' Ed Williams, although small in stature, is a true giant of the blues, and among the very last authentic West Side Chicago bluesmen. From smoking slide guitar riffs to raw-boned Chicago shuffles to the deepest slow blues, Lil' Ed Williams, along with his blistering, road-tested band The Blues Imperials, has been tearing up clubs and festival stages all over the world for nearly 25 years.

This performance is generously supported by McLaren Regional Medical Center, ABC12, HealthPlus, CARS 108, US 103.1, The Ruth Mott Foundation, Community Foundation of Greater Flint and Katherine B. Miner Charitable Trust.
