Chicago is the home of electric blues. The list of artists who have worked out of the city is long and impressive. Howlin’ Wolf, Buddy Guy, Chuck Berry, Etta James, Little Walter, Bo Diddley, Fontella Bass and of course Muddy Waters are just some of the hugely influential musicians who recorded here.
Fans from all over the world visit a modest building at 2120 South Michigan Avenue. This is the home of Willie Dixon’s Blues Heaven. It used to be the office and studio of Chess Records.
It is reassuring to see how much Chicago appreciates its musical legacy. There are scores of venues where you can hear and enjoy blues and jazz until the wee small hours.Why not visit the Chicago Blues Festival? It is held every year in Millennium Park and it is free!
You just have to go.
