The Ingersoll is proud to partner with the Central Iowa Blues Society to present this performance. Get ready for a night of blistering, hard-driving Chicago blues with Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials. For nearly 30 years, this world-renowned band has electrified audiences around the globe with their rollicking slide guitar, soulful vocals, and powerhouse rhythm. Led by Chicago native Lil’ Ed Williams—nephew of legendary bluesman J.B. Hutto—the group has earned international acclaim, headlined major festivals, and won multiple Blues Music Awards, including Band of the Year. Known for their joyous showmanship and raw, heartfelt sound, Lil’ Ed, bassist James “Pookie” Young, guitarist Mike Garrett, and drummer Kelly Littleton deliver a live show that’s equal parts celebration and deep-rooted tradition. As the Chicago Sun-Times raves, “Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials are the hottest purveyors of bottleneck boogie to come out of Chicago since Hound Dog Taylor.”
