While the Whites Stripes, the Black Keys, Mr. Airplane Man and other young bands are continually getting hipster credit for keeping the blues tradition alive, every one of those acts owe at least some debt to George Thorogood & The Destroyers.

By reinventing the blues for a rock audience and introducing classic tunes and artists to new generations of riff-hungry listeners Mr. "Bad to the Bone" was bucking trends long before those acts came along.

In a long and storied career that reaches back to the late '70s, Thorogood and his band the Destroyers have given us iconic rock staples like "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer", "Move it On Over", "Who Do You Love?" and "I Drink Alone."

A two-disc retrospective, Greatest Hits: 30 Years of Rock, and a recent album of newly recorded material by the likes of Eddie Cochran and Bo Diddley, Ride 'til I Die, prove George Thorogood has been, and still is, one of our pre-eminent ambassadors of the blues.

Music fans, this is one show you don't want to miss. Catch George Thorogood and the Destroyers live at the Commodore Ballroom on Wednesday, September 21st with special guests the Tom Hambridge Band.
