Get the Blues

Jake & Elwood knew Chicago is "Sweet Home" to the Blues. Legends like Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon help define the Chicago Blues sound, a sound which influenced the likes of the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and other.

There are still plenty of Clubs which you can catch live Blues nighly. Probably the closest to MAX is Buddy Guy's Legends at 754 S Wabash Ave. Also nearby is Blue Chicago at 536 N. Clark.

If you dont mind traveling a little you can check out some of the more famous Blues joints like the Checker Board Lounge 5201 S Harper Ct. and Kingston Mines 2548 N Halsted.
