Smiley Tillmon is a dynamic performer renowned for blending Chicago blues with soul, R&B, and funk into an electrifying revue. Since reforming the act in 2007 with guitarist Kate Moss, bassist Tom Rezetko, and drummer George Baumann, Tillmon has built a long-running live presence across Chicago venues and regional clubs. A 2017 induction into the Chicago Blues Hall of Fame marks a career built on vivid storytelling, tight groove, and a show that’s as much about atmosphere as it is about skill.
