Buddy Guy Celebrated at Radio City Music Hall with a Sold-Out 'Buddy's Got the Blues' Show
The three-hour-plus tribute featured John Mayer, Eric Gales and other guests, while Guy’s team announced a new album produced by Steve Jordan.
- On Thursday, Oct. 1, 2026, blues legend Buddy Guy celebrated his 90th birthday with a sold-out concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York, led by Rolling Stones drummer Steve Jordan.
- As one of the last Chicago bluesmen who thrived in the mid-20th century, Guy has become the ideal of the genre, with musicians summoning his legend without performing his songs.
- Guest musicians John Mayer, Susan Tedeschi, and Derek Trucks performed classics like 'Messin with the Kid,' while Guy joked he lacked the strength to blow out that many 'f*kin' candles.'
- Longtime friend Bobby Rush, approaching his 93rd birthday, joined Guy on stage, leaving the honoree visibly moved by tributes from younger performers and his few remaining contemporaries.
- Guy's team announced this week a new album arriving next year, produced by Jordan and featuring multi-instrumentalist Ivan Neville and bassist Willie Weeks, who performed at the concert.
