For many visitors and locals alike, Blue Chicago on Clark is the place to be on a weekend or even weekday nights for sweet sounding blues late into the wee hours. This cozy club has one of the best sound systems in the city and it turns a room that seats about one hundred and sixty people into an intimate little club where the music always seems to be telling your personal story. That feeling is helped along by the fact that you can jump up and call out a song - and in the next second you’ll hear it coming back to you from the stage. If you are staying in the River North area, getting here is just a quick walk.
If you are looking for the best in blues memorabilia take a short walk next door to the Blue Chicago Store and check out the posters and other souvenirs. They are fairly priced, and the John Carroll Doyle artwork will light up anyone’s family room.
Check out their website to catch Karen Carroll singing Sweet Home Chicago. It will make you want to head there immediately for the live version!
