In addition to his music career, Guy recently appeared in Sinners, the Oscar-nominated film directed by Ryan Coogler. The genre-bending horror period piece featured Guy in a post-credits scene that served as a memorable coda to the story, bringing his presence to a new generation of moviegoers.

Best known as a pioneering electric blues guitarist and vocalist, Guy has been celebrated for his high-energy Chicago blues style, featuring innovative techniques that utilize feedback, distortion, and wild showmanship. Guy has been a major influence on rock legends such as Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, and is renowned for his signature Stratocaster sound.
“One of the last things Muddy Waters told me, when I found out how ill he was, I gave him a call and said, ‘I’m on my way to your house.’ And he said, ‘Don’t come out here, I’m doing all right. Just keep the damn blues alive,” Guy said in an interview with CBS News. “They all told me that if they left here before I did, then everything was going to be on my shoulders. So as long as I’m here, I’m going to do whatever I can to keep it alive.”
