## Resource

Blues icon Buddy Guy joins Sandy Maxx ahead of his Riverside Theatre performance for a conversation filled with humor, heart, and hard-earned wisdom. Buddy reflects on his journey from a two-string guitar in rural Louisiana to becoming one of the most influential musicians of all time, shares stories from decades on the road, and explains why connecting with audiences still drives him at nearly 90 years old. Plus, thoughts on keeping the blues alive, his recent Grammy-winning success, his role in Sinners, and the simple power of music to bring people together.
