Opened in 1979, seven nights a week B.L.U.E.S. features some of Chicago’s finest Blues acts. Located on the city’s north side, B.L.U.E.S. prides itself as one of the city’s most intimate clubs to still offer authentic Blues. For years, Sunnyland Slim was the regular Sunday night entertainment. In its twenty-nine years, nearly every Chicago Blues musician has graced its stage. Here, you can be assured of listening to Blues veterans like Eddy Clearwater, Magic Slim, Eddie Shaw or Jimmy Dawkins, along with Chicago’s current crop of rising Blues stars. For anyone making a Blues pilgrimage to the Windy City, a stop at B.L.U.E.S. on Halsted should be at the top of the list.
