Buddy Guy, Jimmie Vaughan on stage

Penn’s Peak announces Buddy Guy with special guest Jimmie Vaughan will appear at 8 p.m. Oct. 13.

Guy’s latest album is “The Blues Is Alive and Well.” The legendary blues artist’s eighteenth solo LP and follow-up to 2015’s “Born to Play Guitar” showcases his raw and unadulterated sound, its 15 tracks a true pleasure for aficionados and genre newcomers alike.

“I got children and grandchildren who didn’t know who I was, but nowadays we can play outdoor concerts and see kids that are 8, 9, 12 years old coming to me and saying, ‘I didn’t know who you was, but I read what Eric Clapton said about you,’ ” Guy explains when discussing his mindset around the new record. “I’m always trying to make an album that someone accidentally plays where some kid hears it, picks up a guitar, and helps keep the blues alive.”

At the 2016 Grammys, he picked up a trophy for “Best Blues Album” honoring “Born to Play Guitar,” and that same year he hit the road for a U.S. tour opening for Jeff Beck.

Jimmie Vaughan has dedicated his life to making sure the blues not only stays alive, but remains full of life and an inspiration to all who listen. It’s a spirit he holds close to him, and for over 50 years of holding the blues close inside him, Vaughan isn’t about to stop now.

His new album, “Baby, Please Come Home,” is a rolling and righteous celebration of everything the blues can be. The songs can go up, down, sideways and even off in their own distinctive direction, but one thing is certain, each and every one of them is packed with pure feeling and striking originality.

“Playing what you feel has always been my main goal,” Vaughan says.

For the past few years, Jimmie Vaughan has been recording a series of albums dedicated to the songs he’s always held in high esteem, recorded by artists that inspired him from his very earliest days of performing.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday at ticketmaster.com, the Penn’s Peak Box Office and Roadies Restaurant and Bar. Penn’s Peak Box Office and Roadies Restaurant ticket sales are walk-up only, no phone orders.
