2007 CHICAGO BLUES FESTIVAL

IMAGES OF THE 2007 CHICAGO BLUES FESTIVAL BY KURT SWANSON AND SOULFUL IMPRESSIONS
**UNDER CONSTRUCTION** last update 1/25/08 I STILL HAVE MORE TO COME THIS FALL!

The blues genre and the City of Chicago have been hand-in-hand since the '40s, with a mass exodus of transplants coming from the Delta and south in hopes for a better life and potential career in music. Since that time, blues has been an integral part of the city at large, and the annual Chicago Blues Festival celebrates that fact.

The world's largest free admission festival of its kind, with six stages and almost 100 sets, features a Hall of Fame lineup, which draws approximately 750,000 blues fans. If you can't wait until June, check the official Web site for Blues activities and free concerts (called Blues Season) presented throughout the month prior to the best Blues festival on the planet. -- Jacky Runice

Hey Kurt:
I Love your pictures. I play bass with Lil' Howlin' Wolf and would love to see more of the pics you took from our set. The B & W of Jess Hoggard is really cool, I'll make sure he sees it. Anyway, I'd love to have some great pictures from our show in Chicago if you can help me out. Great work man, you are a true artist.
