Grammy Award®-winning guitar superstar Eric Clapton once again teams up with fellow "guitar gods" to present another Crossroads Guitar Festival, this time from Chicago, America's blues capital. Like its predecessor, the concert was a benefit for Clapton's Crossroads Centre in Antigua, a drug and alcohol education and treatment facility. "The Crossroads Festival is the realization of a dream for me, to gather a group of amazingly talented musicians to perform on one stage," says Clapton, who remains on stage virtually throughout the entire concert. "The Crossroads performers are all musicians I admire and respect." Hosted by comedian and actor Bill Murray, the program features a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of guitar superstars, including Jeff Beck, Robert Cray, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, Buddy Guy, B. B. King, Allison Krauss, Los Lobos, John Mayer, Willie Nelson, Robbie Robertson, Jimmie Vaughan, Johnny Winter, Steve Winwood, and more.
