    BOG Rewind Christmas

    DOORS @5PM / SHOW @ 6PM

    Lefty’s Live Music - 2307 University Ave, DM

    BOG Rewind Christmas Show with Andrew Duncanson & Take A Ride featuring Michael Peloquin. Bring a dish to share for the potluck! BOG Rewind Shows are a celebration and continuation of the unforgettable memories, music, and friendships born at the greatest little blues club that ever was — Blues On Grand.

    For two decades, Andrew Duncanson has been the driving force behind the Kilborn Alley Blues Band. As lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist, he’s guided the band from their humble beginnings in Champaign, Illinois, to their current standing on the national and international blues scene. Andrew and the band are seasoned performers, gracing stages from European festivals like Moulin Blues and Dark Season Blues Festival to major U.S. events like the Chicago Blues Festival and Portland Waterfront Blues Festival. They are also beloved regulars in their hometown of Champaign-Urbana. Andrew has toured with the Nick Moss Band, collaborates with Gerry Hundt, and recently joined Mike Welch’s Connection on the Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise.
