Jimmy Vivino is a blues legend. And then there is Bill Murray, the actor and comedian known for his antics. But Murray can also belt out a powerhouse rock song (yes, he is more than just Nick the Lounge Singer). Bring them all together and you get Bill Murray and His Blood Brothers putting on a show unlike anything else. The musicians provide a wall of blues, soul and rock while Murray—well, he can hit “Like A Rolling Stone” with a Dylanesque resonance, but he can also engage the audience and entertain as only Bill Murray can.
