Lil Ed & the Blues Imperials Concert Tickets

Experience blues mastery and slide guitar work with Lil Ed and the Blues Imperials tickets. Lil Ed Williams was born in Chicago, Ill., on April 8, 1955. He has gained a loyal following as a singer, songwriter, and blues guitarist with his backing band, the Blues Imperials.

J.B. Hutto, the blues recording artist and singer/songwriter, introduced Lil Ed and his cousin, James “Pookie” Young, to Hutto’s student, Dave Weld. Weld and Young would become the first two members of the Blues Imperials band in 1989, with Lil Ed on lead guitar and vocals backed by Michael Garrett on rhythm guitar and vocals, Young on bass and Kelly Littleton on drums.

After years of playing, they were offered a chance to be a part of a compilation album entitled New Bluebloods, with the group submitting the track “Young Thing.” Producer and label owner Bruce Iglauer encouraged them to record additional tracks and they recorded an entire studio album in that session, released in 1986 as Roughhousin’.

The group disbanded after that for several years, but 1999 marked their return with the release of Get Wild.
