1971 Buddy Guy Blues Bag One Philadelphia Civic Center Signed Contract

The information and signatures on this original contract were hand-written by the event promoter's secretary in 1971.

This One-of-a-kind, Original Performance Contract is from a recently discovered collection of promotional material centered around a one-time event held in Philadelphia in 1971. The collection includes original promotional materials once belonging to promoter William Kelly, the organizer of "Blues Bag One," a charity event for disadvantaged youth. The Allman Brothers headlined this once-in-a-lifetime blues jam. Kelley conceived of Blues Bag and, with the council of Duane Allman, booked a blues-heavy lineup of guitar virtuosos. The lineup included Luther Allison and Buddy Guy, featuring legendary bluesman Mississippi Fred McDowell and 22-year-old Bonnie Raitt. 

This lot is the original contract for Buddy Guy to appear and perform at the event.

There is very little detail left from the show other than these:
