The five-time Grammy award winner will perform at 8 p.m. Cray's special guest is Petey Hop, a rock, blues, country artist.

Cray, considered one of the greatest guitarists of his generation, describes his signature style as “…a little rock, soul, jazz, blues, a little gospel feel…a little Caribbean flavor or something.”

His innovations as a blues artist are evident in “Chicken in the Kitchen” and “That’s What Keeps Me Rockin’.” Cray has recorded 15 Billboard-charting studio albums and has written or performed with everyone from Eric Clapton to Stevie Ray Vaughan, Bonnie Raitt and John Lee Hooker.

Cray recently was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame at the age of 57, becoming one of the youngest living legends to receive that prestigious honor.

For tickets ($65), call the box office at 203-438-5795 or buy them online.

The Ridgefield Playhouse is a not-for-profit performing arts center at 80 East Ridge.
