1st Set Lurrie Bell & Frank Catalano

Showtimes:  6:00pm-7:15pm & 8:15pm-9:30pm

Blues Hall of Fame Artist Lurrie Bell and International Touring Artist Frank Catalano, two legendary musicians, reunite after almost 30 years to record a new album, “Set Me Free”.  This recording is “Chicago Blues with a touch of Jazz at its very finest” – New City.

Frank Catalano and Lurrie Bell were both signed to record deals in 1995 by Delmark Records famed producer Bob Koester; Catalano was only 18 and Bell was 36 at the time.  Both musicians have gone on to have storied careers.  Lurrie Bell is bonified blues royalty and was recently inducted into the Blue Hall of Fame in Memphis. He started playing with his father Carey Bell at age 7 and went on to play with Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Willie Dixon, and many other blues giants.  Frank Catalano first sat in with his mentor Von Freeman at age 11; Pearl Bailey and Louie Bellson at age 12; Miles Davis at age 13; and Tony Bennett at age 14.

Both artists have overcome major adversity to get to where they are today. Catalano has overcome a near catastrophic hand injury that resulted in a finger needing to be reattached and new playing style to be created. Bell had moments of homelessness and undiagnosed bipolar & schizophrenia before bouncing back with a Grammy nominated album in 2016.

Listen to their music and you will hear that they pour their heart and soul into every note they play. “Set Me Free” is a testament to their mutual love of music and gratefulness for the quality of life that they have now achieved.
