These are the very real stories of San Diego native, Jenna Armerding (vocals/guitar). In 2025 she quickly went from living room demos to performing with her first band, Poor Thing, featuring her brother, Andrew, on lead guitar. Their last name, Armerding, literally translates to “poor thing” in German. They’re joined by the unflappable Eggy “Eggman” Aragon (bass) and Tom Peart (drums). Shelbi Bennett guest stars with back-up vocals and touches of synth/percussion. Whether her delivery is sweet or sassy, Jenna’s confessional songwriting remains equally intimate and vulnerable. Some songs are grungy, others are dreamy, shifting in dynamics from pretty and moody to distorted and gritty. It’s indie, it’s rock, it’s even a little alt country when she’s got the right boots on. Big influences include PJ Harvey, Patti Smith, Garbage, Mazzy Star, Tom Petty, Slowdive, Radiohead, and Smashing Pumpkins. Poor Thing’s debut full-length album will be available on vinyl (April 2026).

Buddy Guy brings his 90th birthday celebration to The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park! At nearly 90 years old, he stands as one of the most influential guitarists in American music. As a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and a pioneer of Chicago’s explosive West Side sound, Buddy Guy remains a guiding force for generations of rock and blues legends. The nine-time Grammy winner has also earned a Lifetime Achievement Grammy, 38 Blues Music Awards, the Billboard Century Award, the Presidential National Medal of Arts, and the Kennedy Center Honor. Rolling Stone ranks him #23 on its list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,” underscoring his unmatched impact on modern music. Born in 1936 to a sharecropper’s family in rural Louisiana, Guy arrived in Chicago in 1957 and went on to reshape the sound of the electric guitar through groundbreaking work with Chess Records and influential recordings of his own. His recent achievements include a 2019 Grammy win for "The Blues Is Alive and Well" and the acclaimed PBS American Masters documentary "Buddy Guy: The Blues Chase the Blues Away." Today, as he celebrates 90 years, Buddy Guy remains an American music icon – one of the last living architects of the electric blues tradition.
