Lil’ Ed & the Blues Imperials at Rosa’s Lounge in Chicago on June 9, 2012. As fun as the hot, sunny Blues Fest was during the day, there’s something to be said for air conditioning, dim lights, and cold beer. The wild and crazy guys in the audience were an extra bonus.

At the break, I picked up a copy of the new CD, Jump Start, from the lovely Mrs. Lil’ Ed who was working the merch table.
