Chicago bluesman Toronzo Cannon and his band The Chicago Way are on tour to promote his third Alligator Records release, “Shut Up & Play!,” with a live performance at 8 p.m. July 25 at Hub City Vinyl in Hagerstown.

With his richly detailed, original songs, inventive guitar and impassioned vocals, Cannon is known as one of the contemporary blues scene’s most creative artists. His sound is inspired by his heroes, including Hound Dog Taylor, Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Albert King, Son Seals and Jimi Hendrix.
