Keyboard player Barry Goldberg died Wednesday at age 83. Goldberg was part of the Chicago blues scene in the 60s that helped blues music break through to a white audience. As a band member and session player, he collaborated with a long list of music legends ranging from Mike Bloomfield to Bob Dylan to Stephen Stills. I know him best for his excellent work on Charlie Musselwhite's debut album "Stand Back! Here Comes Charley Musselwhite's Southside Band." I'll post one of the songs in the comments below.

Blues rock great Barry Goldberg has died in hospice care after a ten-year struggle with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Gail Goldberg, his wife

The International Blues Challenge was a few weeks earlier than normal this year (Jan. 7-11).

You know the Blues Brothers, but how about the Blood Brothers? Actor Bill Murray is teaming up with guitarists Mike Zito and Albert Castiglia for a US tour under the name Bill Murray and His Blood Brothers. Zito and Castiglia previously collaborated on the hit blues album Blood Brothers, and they met and performed with Murray at the Big Blues Bender in Las Vegas earlier this year. While Murray isn't typically a musician, he has been the emcee of the Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival since 2010.

Beloved actor and 'Saturday Night Live' alum Bill Murray will hit the road for a short tour backed by Chicago blues band The Blood Brothers.
