ABOUT US
Chicago Blues Guide
is a complete guide to Chicago’s current blues scene.
The
Guide section contains
listings for Chicagoland’s blues clubs, bands, radio shows, record
labels and links. The webzine features plenty of photos, news and
features on what’s happening in the home of the blues, including
interviews, events, DVD and CD reviews, and live blues reviews.
Mission
Statement
Chicago Blues Guide
is run by contributors who volunteer their time and talent because they
love the blues. Like the Blues Brothers, we’re on a “mission from God”
to keep the blues alive and well in Sweet Home Chicago…World Capital of
the Blues.
Our
goal is to promote and preserve
Chicago’s blues music and culture in all of its
forms, from traditional to contemporary blues, soul and R&B.
We
strive to unite Chicago’s
blues community and to connect with blues fans all over the world who
share our enthusiasm for the city’s great blues music and heritage. We
also hope to inspire a younger listening audience for the next
generation who will enjoy and carry on this worthy musical tradition
that is, indeed, the root of nearly every form of music that is popular
today.
As
the late, great Muddy Waters once said, “The blues had a baby, and they
named the baby rock and roll.”
Motto
Every day is a good day for the blues!
