The Brother John Band live at the Joliet Museum

The Brother John Band live at the Joliet Museum's Summer Concert Series on Thursday, May 18th

The Brother John Band plays the Joliet Museum's Summer Music Series on Thursday, May 18th!

Brother John Kattke has been a resident musician at Buddy Guy’s Legends in Chicago for 25 years, and has played with Eric Clapton, Steve Miller, the Black Crowes, and other Blues and Rock greats. Fronting his own talented band, you’ll hear Rock and Blues tinged tunes from Otis Redding, Dr. John, James Brown, Van Morrison & others!

Brother John has acquired ringing endorsements from many other musicians of renown. For example: Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant had seen John play with Otis Rush at the Jazz Café in London. When Plant and Kattke met in person at the United Center in Chicago, Plant told Kattke: “You play a mean guitar!” George Benson came to the jam session that Kattke hosts at Buddy Guy’s Legends in Chicago. After hearing the opening set that John played with his band, Benson told him: “You’re fearless! I thought I was fearless! You’re fearless!”
