Pyramid Hefeweizen Glass Giveaway
Buy the beer, keep the glass! Draft Hefeweizen has a smooth body and a cloudy golden color. This crisp refreshing beer is unfiltered for extra flavor. Mistakenly pronounced "Heifer-weizen" by many, this classic brew is about as far from the brazen boldness of a large bovine as one can get. Say "Hay-fuh-vy-'tzen." Gold Medal Winner at the 2004 Great American Beer Festival.
Giveaway starts @ 5:00 pm (till they're all gone)
Chicago Red
Chicago Red is a singer/songwriter/guitarist of acoustic delta blues. Born in 1955 on the westside of Chicago, Red began playing piano at the age of six, switching to guitar at age twelve, and by fifteen was playing and listening to the music of the Chicago Blues scene. Seeing Muddy Waters and Howling Wolf perform, as well as meeting Louis Armstrong and Count Basie as a ten year old had a lasting impact on his life. The experiences gave him a passion for creating music of his own, while respecting the classic masters of the blues. Red has lived in New Orleans, but is now based in Los Angeles, California.

"Utterly human dirt-under-the-fingernails music from a naturalistic blues
master." ~ Gary Von Tersch, Big City Blues Magazine, Detroit/Chicago
"I really like your brand of blues Red.It's spinnin' here."
~ James "Blueshound" Nagle, KPFT 90.1 FM Houston and 89.5 FM Galveston

Make sure to catch Chicago Red's live performance and interview on Howlin' the Blues with the Blueshound at 2:00 pm on Sunday, March 27th on KPFT 90.1 FM.
