Buddy Guy, six-time grammy award winner, just released his new album Rhythm & Blues in conjunction with his 77th birthday on July 30. While he’s most known for pioneering the Chicago blues style, Buddy’s music varies from blues to rock, jazz, avante garde, and soul. In a career that spans nearly 50 years with over 50 albums released, the incomparable Buddy Guy recently added the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors and NARM Chairman’s Award for Sustained Creative Achievement to his long list of achievements. Guy is the recipient of 30 awards and accolades, including 6 Grammy Awards, 28 Blues Music Awards (formerly W. C. Handy Awards), Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, the first annual Great Performer of Illinois Award, a Billboard Music Awards’ Century Award for distinguished artistic achievement, the Presidential National Medal of Arts, in addition to being listed as one of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time by Rolling Stone.
In honor of one of the most prolific maestros to grace the musical pages of blues history Beery Method Design studios has created a tribute poster to celebrate Buddy Guy’s new release in conjunction with his 77th birthday. Custom illustration, design, textures, and lettering were incorporated to create a poster that encompassed a hand constructed feel with a vintage-esque aesthetic. The use of natural tones and retro design elements flow like the stark rhythmic chords of the maestro Buddy Guy himself.
