That bearded fellow is none other than Chicago's own Stevie Starlight.
X-Rated Rock n Blues. A multi-generational (now) cult on Chicago's Sout Side.

He has been pluggin' away in da clubs for 25+ years fronting his own. Refining his craft which, in addition to killer guitar work, is largely interactive with his audience. A running, twisting, full-winged musical conversation.

His instrument is between his ears.
Connecting his fingers to the guitar and his mouth to the audience. A "show" can go from straight ahead Rock to Reggae in mid-song if he senses that's what the crowd will respond to. His "band" just goes with it.

It's a trip and a half off the beaten path. Or as he would put it, the beat-off path.
