Expectation-defying Chicago bluesman Toronzo Cannon and his band The Chicago Way will perform live at The Birchmere in Alexandria on Tuesday, July 19, 2022. The songwriter, guitarist, vocalist and recently retired Chicago Transit Authority bus driver blazes his own visionary blues trail, fusing his original, keenly-detailed tales of everyday life with his fiery guitar playing. UK tastemaker music magazine MOJO named Cannon’s latest Alligator Records release, The Preacher, The Politician Or The Pimp, the #2 Best Blues Album Of 2019. In July, 2020, Chicago’s Newcity named Cannon the “Musician Of The Moment,” putting him on the cover of their annual music issue.
