Otis Rush Jr. (Philadelphia, Mississippi, April 29, 1934 - September 29, 2018) was an American Chicago blues guitarist, singer and songwriter. Rush was left-handed and strummed with his left hand while fretting with his right. However, his guitars were strung with the low E string at the bottom, in reverse or upside-down to typical guitarists. He often played with the little finger of his pick hand curled under the low E for positioning. It is widely believed that this contributed to his distinctive sound.
These are videos from concerts where Otis rush played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
