WAKING UP TO THE BLUES HARMONICA

STEVE GUYGER & THE EXCELLOS

Saturday, November 18 / 10:30 a.m.
Penske Amphitheatre in the DoubleTree

Chicago blues harmonica wizard Steve Guyger heads the latest version of the band he started in 1980, The Excellos.

Born in Philadelphia in 1952, Guyger (who is also a singer/songwriter) got hooked on the blues in his late teens and started performing in the area in the late 1970s.

Guyger’s big break came when Jimmy Rogers invited him to join his band, and he toured and performed with Rogers for about 15 years. He also performed with Charlie Musselwhite, Little Sammy Davis and Mark Hummel. In 1997, Guyger released his debut album, “Last Train to Dover,” and has released four more albums since then.
