Dinner with Legendary Blues Musician Charlie Musselwhite

If you love blues this is an occasion not to be missed. You and (5) friends will join Charlie and Henriette for a 5 course gourmet dinner at the Kozel's beautiful new home on Cedar St. Fine wine and great conversation will flow. Charlie will bring his collection of harps where you will learn bout the different instruments and styles, and perhaps offer some riffs to illustrate the different sounds. Are you a Blues fane? Would you like to hear about dinner at the Obama White House? Touring with Cyndi Lauper?  His tours of Cuba or India? The evening is yours to share with friends, guided by the master of the blues harp himself. This is a unique opportunity to share an evening with a living legend.

Charlie Musselwhite is living proof that great music only gets better with age. Charlie cut his teeth alongside Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf and everyone else on the Southside of Chicago in the 1960's. He has played with an evolving and eclectic set of artists such as Mick Jagger, Cyndi Lauper, Tom Waits, Vassar Clements, and recently Bern Harper amount others.  Charlie may be the only musician to get a huge ovation just for opening his briefcase.  Fans know that's where he keeps his harmonicas and they're about to hear on of the true masters work his magic on the humble instrument.
