The Fox Theatre welcomes 'Chicago Plays the Stones' on December 18th at 8:00 pm.
We can’t believe we landed this gritty, bluesy walk up the Mississippi Delta with a bunch of stops landing in Chicago! Guitar-slinger Ronnie Baker Brooks and Chicago harmonica master Billy Branch, among today’s foremost inheritors of the Chicago blues tradition unite live on-stage to give the songs of the Rolling Stones a remarkable rebirth. Brooks and Branch strip those rock songs down to their Chicago blues essence and bring the songs of Jagger-Richards back to their spiritual home and their point of origin. There is no more seminal association in the history of rock and pop music than those ties that bind Chicago’s electric blues with the Rolling Stones. The tunes will make the hair on your arms stand straight up!
The show includes songs from the 1940s Mississippi Delta by a young Muddy Waters up through the groundbreaking electrification of the country blues in Chicago by Waters and other pioneering Windy City blues artists. The blues sounds that traveled from the deep south up north to Chicago were the musical DNA that put the young Brits squarely on the path to become The Rolling Stones, the group that would eventually, with the Chicago blues at it core, have a lasting effect on rock and pop music. And when they dive into the Stones, well the night will have a long-lasting effect on all of us. See it at the Fox!
