• Blues guitarist/vocalist/songwriter
Lil' Ed Williams, the leader of Lil' Ed and The Blues
Imperials, will appear in both a filmed segment and
live on stage when Late Night With Conan O'Brien broadcasts
from the Chicago Theatre on Wednesday, May 10, 2006.
O'Brien, who brings his show to Chicago this week, asks
Lil' Ed to teach him how to become a real bluesman.
The segment was filmed three weeks ago at the famed
B.L.U.E.S. On Halsted club. After the film airs, Lil'
Ed will jam on stage with O'Brien and The Max Weinberg
7. This is the first time in his almost 30-year career
that Williams appears in front of a national television
audience. Lil'
Ed and The Blues Imperials new CD, Rattleshake, will
be released on June 27, 2006.

• We've been down here in New Orleans,
doing some relief work. It's incredible, the devastation
untouched after 8 months. This city and the musicians
here need your support more than ever.
Please
visit www.commongroundrelief.org
to learn what you can do to help! Get
here for this last weekend of Jazzfest, and show your
support as you enjoy one of the finest music events
anywhere!
