(TUCKERTON, NJ) -- Lizzie Rose Music Room presents Lil Ed & The Blues Imperials on Friday, June 27, 2025. Night after night, gig after riotous gig, this band brings their big, dynamic Chicago blues sound to fans across the country and around the world.  Doors are at 7:00pm, showtime is 7:30pm.

Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials released eight Alligator albums between 1986 and 2012. With each one, the band’s national and international stature grew as their fan base—known internationally as “Ed Heads”—continued to expand. With 2006’s Rattleshake, Ed and company reached a whole new audience. Die-hard “Ed Head” Conan O’Brien brought the band before millions of television viewers on two separate occasions. Success and accolades never stop pouring in. Living Blues called 2012’s Jump Start “scorching and soulful” with “crafty, clever lyrics...joyous and stomping.”

The group took home the Living Blues Award for Best Live Performer in 2011, 2012 and 2013. They won the prestigious Blues Music Award for Band Of The Year in both 2007 and 2009. The Associated Press says, “Williams fills Chicago’s biggest shoes with more life and heat than anyone on stage today.”

Tickets are $45 and available for purchase online.  The Lizzie Rose Music Room is located at 217 East Main Street in Tuckerton, New Jersey.  Free parking is available.

With The Big Sound Of Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials, the band continues to bring their blistering Chicago blues to “Ed Heads” new and old. Their infectious energy, joyful showmanship and masterful playing have been honed to a razor’s edge by their many years together.
