Surf Sounds Summer Concert Series - Reverend Raven & The Chain Smokin’ Altar Boys featuring Westside Andy on Harmonica

Bringing crowds to their feet at the hardest to please and sophisticated nightclubs in the Midwest, Reverend Raven and the Chain Smokin Altar Boys play traditional blues, straight up with a big dose of passion. With smoking grooves, served up with hot harmonica and smooth stinging guitar they play original songs peppered with nods to Slim Harpo, Little Walter, Jimmy Rogers, Billy Boy Arnold, Junior Wells and the three Kings. Born and raised on the south side of Chicago, the Rev has been playing the blues since 1971 when he first saw Freddy King play at the Kinetic Theatre in Chicago. After a 15 year hitch in the Navy, Chief Raven moved to Milwaukee where he began a long friendship and collaboration with Madison Slim, long time harmonica player for Jimmy Rogers.
