The Graveyard Blues Bike Tour—Take your love of Blues to the grave

Resurrected! If you missed last October’s Graveyard Blues Tour, it returns (as restless souls are wont to do) for a Chicago Blues Fest exhumation of the soulful legacy that lies beneath the grass along the Cal-Sag Trail!

Cal-Sag Trail Graveyard Blues Tour
June 8, 1–4PM
Start/Finish: Rock Island Public House, 13328 Olde Western Ave., Blue Island, Ill.

Cost: $10 donation for the Cal-Sag Trail, plus bring some tip money for Harmonica Neil, who returns as our own musical Ouija board, bringing the Blues of the greats back from beyond the gray veil...

RSVP for the Graveyard Blues Tour

Please RSVP—it will help us know what we’re in for!

The Tour: By bike, we’ll roll along friendly streets to visit the Blues greats who haunt Burr Oak, Lincoln and Restvale cemeteries in the Alsip area. Harmonica Neil and local music historian Jason Berry guide us like a two-headed Charon across the River to the other side, where the tormented souls of Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Jimmy Reed, Magic Sam, Gene Ammons, Otis Spann, Earl Hooker, Hound Dog Taylor, Big Bill Broonzy, Big Walter Horton still lament for lost love, another drink, one more song.

Bring $10 donation/person (+ some tip money for Neil), your bike, a helmet, and a thirst for music. Map and schedule available at the start. Text or e-mail Steve at 708/365-9365 or steve@trailsforillinois.org if you need more info.
