At age 86, Buddy Guy is a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, a major influence on rock titans like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan, a pioneer of Chicago’s fabled West Side sound, and a living link to the city’s halcyon days of electric blues. Guy’s "Damn Right Farewell" Tour, with special guest Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, will see The Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement Award winner performing hits from throughout his career, in addition to his new #1 album, "The Blues Don’t Lie". Buddy Guy has received 8 GRAMMY Awards, a 2015 Lifetime Achievement GRAMMY Award, 38 Blues Music Awards (the most any artist has received), the Billboard Magazine Century Award for distinguished artistic achievement, a Kennedy Center Honor and the Presidential National Medal of Arts. Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him #23 in its "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time." These many years later, Buddy Guy remains a genuine American treasure and one of the final surviving connections to an historic era in the country’s musical evolution. Note: the San Diego Symphony does not appear on this program. Stay Connected on Social Media! Facebook | Instagram | Twitter

If you have a little one (ages 5+) who loves to draw and loves hedgehogs (and who doesn’t?), check out our “Mommy and Me and Hedgehog Makes 3” activity on Saturday, June 17 at 10 A.M. We’ll begin by introducing you to one of our hedgehogs. While you’re enjoying some great “meet and greet” time, one of our keeper / educators will tell you everything you want to know about these amazing little animals. After that, one of the professional artists from ArtSmarts will help you create your very own portrait of this guy. We’ll provide all the guidance and supplies, so you can focus on your masterpiece. Enjoy a great morning outdoors and bring home a definitely refrigerator-worthy piece of artwork. The cost is $90 for one parent and one child, and pricing is available for additional kids. This event is limited to 20 people, so book today! Stay Connected on Social Media! Facebook & Instagram
