A toast to @TheRealBuddyGuy on his 88th birthday! Thank you for keeping the #blues alive! #Chicago #bluesmusic

This week’s favorite live performance memory is “Mustang Sally” by Magic Slim and The Teardrops. This was a staple of his sets in the mid-1980’s #Blues #bluesmusic #magicslim #Chicago #chicagoblues #livemusic bluesandmore.net/post/mustang-s…

Do you have a favorite concert memory? Every Friday we’ll write about one of ours in a new feature, Weekend Warmup. Today the story is about Stevie Ray Vaughan’s “Scuttle Buttin’” in 1984. bluesandmore.net/post/scuttle-b… #Blues #livemusic #Chicago #bluesmusic #stevierayvaughan

@StuckeyStop @CandyUSA Harold’s Chicken Shack is a must! They have one near the Loop on Wabash and a downtown food truck. And if you can get down to the Hyde Park neighborhood check at the Valois Cafeteria on 53rd Street (open 6 am to 3 pm). There is also a Harold’s on 53rd St. in Hyde Park. Enjoy!!!

I’m Chicago Bound for the ⁦⁦@CandyUSA⁩ #SweetsandSnackExpo! Got any classic diners & dive bars I can visit while in the Windy City? Pls share!

Mark your calendars! Chicago Blues Fest 2023 from June 8-11 #blues #bluesmusic #bluesfest #Chicago chicago.gov/city/en/depts/…

It appears that Chicago - The Home of the Blues - will not have a Chicago Blues Fest in 2023? Wow. Speechless. #Chicago #bluesfestival #blues #bluesmusic

@ChiBluesHistory @billboard Do you know where Universal was located? There is a building on Michigan south of Roosevelt that still has the Universal emblem on it

Chess recorded at #Chicago’s Universal Studios in the 50s. Universal had a special sound due to its custom made mics, pre-amps, and console—built by engineer Bill Putman. In the #1950s, it wasn’t uncommon to find a third of @billboard’s “Top 10” hits were recorded there. #music

It’s official! Muddy Waters old house on Chicago’s South Side is now on the National Register of Historic Places! #chicago #blues #bluesmusic #history @mojomuseum #muddywaters nps.gov/subjects/natio…
