Chicago blues legend Lurrie Bell performs at Antone's for the venue's 51st anniversary, joined by Darrell Nulisch, Steve Bell, Duke Robillard and Anson Funderburg.
Lurrie Bell headlines Antone's on Saturday, July 18, as part of the club's 51st anniversary. He's a Chicago blues veteran, and he's not coming alone—the bill brings together Darrell Nulisch, Duke Robillard, Anson Funderburgh, and Steve Bell. It's a deep lineup of guitar and harmonica for a single night.
Antone's has been around since 1975, and it's known as Austin's 'Home of the Blues.' The club is famous for launching the careers of many blues greats, and this show is one of a string of special dates they've put together to mark 51 years. If you've spent any time there, you know the food is as much a part of the place as the music: the Po Boy sandwiches were created by Jalal in 1962, and the Cliffy Dog hotdogs are beer-steamed.
With Lurrie Bell at the center, the night pulls from a few different corners of the blues. You've got the Chicago sound Bell carries, the Texas touch of Anson Funderburgh, and the seasoned playing of Duke Robillard and Darrell Nulisch. Steve Bell rounds out the group. It's the kind of bill that works best when you're there in person, with the different styles playing off each other throughout the evening.
