2120 South Michigan Ave.

George Thorogood & the Destroyers

A high-octane tribute to Chicago's Chess Records. Gritty slide guitar and relentless boogie beats breathe new life into blues standards.

It's George Thorogood doing what he does best: playing loud, greasy blues in honor of the legends who started it all.

A high-energy, reverent celebration of electric blues history delivered with barroom swagger.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The greasy slide guitar lick that kicks off Bo Diddley with immediate authority.

The howling harmonica solo on Help Me that cuts through the thick bass line.

The extended instrumental jam on the title track where the band locks into a deep groove.
