Uncertain weather greeted the crowd that descended on the J. B Park ampitheater last Friday night. On hand to introduce the evening's entertainment was Fox 2 weatherman Glen Zimmerman, who granted the evening a 'Blues Weather Window' - good job Glen!

Charlie Musselwhite was introduced by Glen to the enthusiastic crowd on hand! Charlie is a Chicago legend, recipient of countless awards and nominations, having perfected his craft performing with countless Blues icons over the years.

Charlie reminisced a bit about 1950's Chicago, and his visits to Curly's Little Twist, where he observed and later performed with artists such as Sonny Boy Williamson, Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf! Charlie performed several STLBlues favorites, such as 'River Hip Mama' and 'Highway 51'. An element of Brazilian music was even featured by Charlie, a influence from his past Brazil tour! It was a fun evening of great music, brought to town in the form of a legend, Mr. Charlie Musselwhite.

The J.B. park concert series - a perfect music venue for families to bring thier kids & a cooler, spread a blanket and set up some lawn chairs. So c'mon!
