Li’l Ed and the
Blues Imperials

"The music goes through me, and it brings out the happiness in me," says guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Lil' Ed Williams. "Once I feel it, I'm gone--wild and crazy!" From smoking slide guitar runs to raw-boned Chicago shuffles to the deepest blues, the five-foot one-inch Lil' Ed and his blistering, road-tested band, the Blues Imperials, get wild and crazy every time they hit the stage. Between their wonderfully raucous music and Ed's flying leaps, his duck-walking through the audience and his sliding across the stage on his knees, it's no wonder the Boston Globe called Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials, "the world's #1 houserocking band." Ed boasts a direct bloodline to blues history--his uncle was the great Chicago slide guitarist and recording artist J.B. Hutto. And his rags to riches story takes him from working in a car wash to entertaining thousands of fans all over the world. Lil' Ed Williams, although small in stature, is a true giant of the blues.
