Thorogood’s rebellious blues-rock heard on “Bad to the Bone,” “I Drink Alone,” and many others, is joined by the classy, Grammy-winning guitarist Cray for a night of outstanding blues with no apologies.

• Originally a minor-league baseball player, George Thorogood saw John Paul Hammond in concert and decided to become a rock star. His major label debut in 1982, Bad to the Bone, was the first of many albums to go gold.
• Only six years after his debut album, Who’s Been Talkin’ (1980), Robert Cray won his first Grammy for Showdown, released by Mercury, for Best Traditional Blues Album/Recording. His latest release, This Time, was released in 2009.
