Lonnie Brooks, sons play the blues, family-style
Lonnie Brooks is still at the top of his game. The former Lee Baker turned 70 last Dec. 18, and the Chicago Blues Festival will celebrate the milestone with a special show at 8 p.m. Friday at Petrillo Music Shell. Billed as "Lonnie Brooks' 70th Year Celebration With His Family Band," Lonnie and his band will be joined onstage by both sons, who'll play minisets of their own music.
