JamCellars presents George Thorogood and The Destroyers “The Baddest Show On Earth”

During 2025’s The Baddest Show on Earth Tour, they played nearly 90 explosive shows, were honored by The Recording Academy’s GRAMMY Museum, saw George’s famed Gibson ES-125TDC ‘Bad To The Bone’ guitar placed on permanent exhibit at The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, performed at halftime for the Las Vegas Raiders, were inducted into The Musicians Hall of Fame, delivered the top-rated PBS Special Recorded Live At Analog, and more.

But now it’s 2026. What could George Thorogood & The Destroyers possibly do for an encore?

“Encore?” bellows George with a good-natured laugh. “We’re just getting started!”

For an artist whose music honors the blues, rock and country legends of the past, Thorogood’s forward momentum is now stronger than ever. And along with longtime Destroyers Jeff Simon (drums), Bill Blough (bass), Jim Suhler (guitar) and Buddy Leach (saxophone), they continue “to slap a custom flame paint job onto those classic sounds” (Blues Blast Magazine) like never before. “There’s never been a master plan,” George says. “We’ll always be focused on playing music that makes all kinds of people happy. Because when the house lights go down, the downbeat hits and the audience erupts, there is no greater feeling in the world.”
