No, he isn’t bringing his full band revue with female dancers this time, but the 88-year-old King of the Chitlin’ Circuit will present the blues, raw and authentic, with his voice, guitar and harmonica. Plus, the always entertaining Grammy winner will spin delightful yarns, maybe some from his compelling 2021 autobiography, “I Ain’t Studdin’ Ya.” Read an interview with Rush at startribune.com/music. Opening is Jontavious Willis, a terrific young country blues singer/guitarist/banjoist mentored by Taj Mahal and Keb Mo. –JON BREAM
