About John Kattke:
Brother John has been a resident musician at Buddy Guy’s Legends in Chicago for 25 years. He has played with Eric Clapton, Steve Miller, the Black Crowes, and acquired ringing endorsements from many other musicians of renown. For example: Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant had seen John play with Otis Rush at the Jazz Café in London. When Plant and Kattke met in person at the United Center in Chicago, Plant told Kattke: “You play a mean guitar!” George Benson came to the jam session that Kattke hosts at Buddy Guy’s Legends in Chicago. After hearing the opening set that John played with his band, Benson told him: “You’re fearless! I thought I was fearless! You’re fearless!”
Usually when Brother John’s band plays at Legends, it’s for the Monday night open-jam. But Tuesday (August) 1, they’ll be joined by a man who’s not only an authentic legend, but the cat who owns the club: Mr. Buddy Guy…. Seventy years young, he’ll be celebrating his birthday with a special guest set. Those who’ve caught his sold-out shows every January know enough to show up early for a good look.?— “TimeOut Chicago” July 27-August 3, 2006
