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.
