Buddy Guy Damn Right Farewell Tour

On June 22, 2023, Buddy Guy, the iconic blues guitarist and singer, brought the Damn Right Farewell Tour to the Uline Warehouse Stage at the 55th Summerfest in Milwaukee.

As the headliner of the evening, Buddy Guy’s performance was nothing short of spellbinding. Wielding his trusty Fender Stratocaster, Buddy Guy unleashed a torrent of soulful notes, each one resonating with the weight of his legendary career. His fingers danced across the frets, weaving tales of love, loss, and redemption. The crowd swayed, their eyes fixed on this living legend, their ears soaking in the raw emotion emanating from his guitar. Buddy’s gravelly voice, weathered by years of storytelling, echoed through the warm summer night, carrying the spirit of Chicago’s South Side to the shores of Lake Michigan.

For those lucky enough to witness this moment, it was more than a concert. It was a pilgrimage to the roots of American music. For fans who have long awaited the chance to witness his virtuosity live, this was a dream fulfilled, a moment etched in time.
