Somebody tell Remmick to just mind his business! The historic concert transports you back in time across Guy\u2019s 70-year career, starting with his 1991 hit, \u201cDamn Right, I\u2019ve Got the Blues. Between expert guitar licks, Guy brought the laughs as he continued to the mojo music of the 1970 classic, \u201cHoochie Coochie Man.\u201d<\/p>\n

The beloved Blues player is as seasoned as he is sharp, making it hard to believe his upcoming North American tour is in celebration of his upcoming 90th birthday. He even joked that if he masters cursing in music, there\u2019s a promising rap career in his future as well.<\/p>\n

Then Guy, who still regularly performs at Buddy Guy\u2019s Legends in Chicago, brought out Miles Caton. Guy briefly appears at the end of Sinners<\/em> as the older version of Caton\u2019s character, but his influence runs deep in the film\u2019s iconic sound and critically acclaimed soundtrack. Thanks to Tiny Desk, fans of the record-breaking blockbuster can see this dynamic duo perform together for the first time. <\/p>\n

Caton, who comes from a Gospel music dynasty, learned to play the Blues for the role of Sammie. He mastered it so well, Guy joked that the 21-year-old is almost too good to play with, noting, \u201cIf you always play the Blues right, you\u2019re playing it wrong.\u201d <\/p>\n

As a dynamic duo, Caton and Guy perform \u201cTravelin,’\u201d the first song Sammie performs in the film. Fresh off a 9th Grammy win for Ain\u2019t Done With The Blues<\/em>, his quick wit between riffs keeps Caton on his toes through their hilarious call-and-response of timeless Blues themes.<\/p>\n

For the grand finale, they end with the hauntingly beautiful and award-winning song, \u201cI Lied To You.\u201d Once again, Caton and Guy playfully perform and banter like they\u2019re in their own world. Just like in the 2025 instant classic movie, Caton beautifully belts a note that brings the house down. Check out the full concert below.<\/p>\n

Guy shared the Tiny Desk stage with Dan Souvigney on piano, Ric Hall on guitar, Orlando Wright on bass, and Pooky Styx on drums.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s epic Tiny Desk show only the latest milestone in Guy\u2019s musical mission from two trailblazing titans of Blues. In 2025, Guy told Variety<\/a><\/em>, \u201cMuddy Waters and BB King, I knew \u2019em before they passed away, and they told me, \u2018Man, if you outlive me, just try to keep the blues alive.\u2019 So it just makes me feel good to see something that is letting people know a little more about it.\u201d Despite previously retiring from touring, he\u2019s not slowing down anytime soon.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t get enough of this Buddy\u2019s Blues blessings, he\u2019s taking his show on the road to a city near you starting July 15 for the BG90 Tour. Tickets are now available at BuddyGuy.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n
