1/7 Chicago Blues Explosion! Steve Arvey & Biscuit Miller

Join us for an amazing night of Chicago Blues, featuring two Chicago natives Steve Arvey and Biscuit Miller. Together they will play songs that encapsulate all that is Chicago Blues and focus on the influences that made Chicago Blues what it is. 

Arvey grew up in Chicago and was surrounded by music due to his mother Celeste Ravel who was a former jazz singer in the Wayne King Orchestra. Steve's first exposure to music was from blues music that was played on Maxwell Street in Chicago. In 1978 Arvey moved to Florida where he met Delta Blues Guitar Player Ben Andrews and then started playing bass with Bo Diddley. Steve also worked around the Gainesville area of Florida with Saxophonist Robert Hunter. During summer months he would return to Chicago where he worked as a sideman playing bass behind such notable musicians such as Jr Wells, Jimmy Rogers, Hubert Sumlin, Big Smokey Smothers, Homesick James, Sammy Fender, Detroit Jr, Lucky Lopez and many others. In 1981 he formed his own band named West Side Heat and toured around the midwest. in 1984 he recorded his first record "Crazy Mixed Up World"

Biscuit Miller puts on a high energy show, and you’re in for a treat with his genuine smile, endless energy and knock-out talent. Discovering the bass at age 11, Biscuit has played all over the world, has strong airplay on Sirius XM Radio, played with Lonnie Brooks (10 years), Mojo Buford and Anthony Gomes, just to mention a few. In 2012 Biscuit received his first and well-deserved Blues Music Award.

Courtyard opens at 5PM. Music starts at 6:30PM. There is a $5 cover charge (well worth it for two Chicago greats!).
