The Fabulous Thunderbirds

Kim Wilson, legendary harmonica virtuoso and frontman of The Fabulous Thunderbirds, brings what may be his most personally meaningful tour yet to The Spire Center on November 5. The “A Tribute to Chicago Blues” tour represents a homecoming of sorts for Wilson, who cut his teeth playing alongside the very architects of the Chicago blues sound during the genre’s golden era.

The “Tribute to Chicago Blues” tour will feature a mix of classic chestnuts and deeper cuts from the Chicago blues catalog. “There will be a lot more traditional songs in the set,” Wilson explains. “We haven’t decided exactly how we’re going to mix it up yet, but I’m hoping I can do this for a little while, to be honest with you.”
