Crossroads Guitar Festival lineup of the best players……

I have been looking forward to this since they announced it and fortunately I was lucky enough to snag two tickets for me and my buddy, Ernie, before they sold out in 15 minutes. Still not sitting very close to stage but I am assuming it will be like the last one in Dallas with huge video screens for optimum viewing.

Hopefully this one in Chicago will have weather that is a little more favorable than the last stop in Dallas. Ernie and I endured 100 degree heat, no clouds, no wind and stood up on the field at the Cotton Bowl for about 11 hours. Would I do it again….Damn, straight. But this time I have seats. Even more sweet….

The stellar linup includes:

• Jeff Beck
• Doyle Bramhall II
• Eric Clapton
• Sheryl Crow
• Robert Cray
• Vince Gill
• Buddy Guy
• BB King
• Alison Krauss
• Sonny Landreth
• Albert Lee
• Los Lobos
• John Mayer
• John McLaughlin
• Willie Nelson
• Robert Randolph & The Family Band
• Robbie Robertson
• Hubert Sumlin
• The Derek Trucks Band
• Jimmie Vaughan
• Johnny Winter
• Steve Winwood

And Bill Murray will also be there, for comic relief I am assuming.

If you want to get tickets at the last minute, head over to Ebay and try your luck…..
