Chicago Blues Festival

From June 11 through June 13, some of the biggest names in blues will gather at the Chicago Blues Festival, easily one of the best events of its kind. This festival has long been on my dream list. You better believe I won’t miss this next year.




Even though the festival planners have scaled back the number of stages and artists appearing over the past couple years, there’s still plenty of blues to go around.



A schedule of performers and stages can be found on the Chicago Festivals website. Missing, however, is the Windy City Blues stage. Be sure to check out the Windy City Blues Society website for their schedule. Take special note of any performance featuring Chris James and Patrick Rynn who’ll soon be featured here on SoundLust.
