LIL’ ED AND THE BLUES IMPERIALS HIT THE NATIONAL AIRWAVES!

Chicago blues master Lil’ Ed Williams, whose new Alligator CD RATTLESHAKE was released on June 27, will appear on National Public Radio’s Weekend Edition Saturday on July 8. The 13-minute piece will feature an interview with Ed as well as tracks from the new CD. The feature will air about 40 minutes into the 1^st hour of the program.

Then, on Wednesday July 12, Lil’ Ed and The Blues Imperials will perform Leaving Here (the lead track from RATTLESHAKE) on Late Night With Conan O’Brien. Ed appeared on Late Night last May in Chicago in a hilarious filmed segment followed by Ed sliding across the stage of the Chicago Theatre on his knees and jamming with O’Brien. The entire Late Night staff was so impressed by Ed’s talent and charisma, they invited him and The Blues Imperials back for a full song performance.
