Chicago Blues Foundation® Archives on Exhibit at Chicago Blues Festival!

CBF is proud to accept the Mayor's invitation (through The City of Chicago MOSE Office) to once again host a Sponsor's Booth at the annual Chicago Blues Festival. This festival, which runs for multiple days in early June each year, celebrates the history and the current performance of blues in Chicago.

CBF limits its scope a little by maintaining archives of the authentic Chicago Urban Blues genre from the 1960s through its revival in the 1970s. CBF maintains an unbroken string of posters etc., from the mid 1960s through the end of the 1970s. This covers the seminal Blues artists like Muddy Water and Howlin Wolf and then their apprentices who chose Chicago Urban Blues as the language accent for their music and for the most part carried the genre into the future. This kept the genre alive after the passing of many of the creators of Chicago Urban Blues.

We will continue to work towards providing the guests who visit our booth with a comprehensive glimpse into our archives and offer limited edition, numbered, collector's quality original blues artifacts, poster overruns and artist’s original promotional photos. Audio and video restorations will be screened and available to the public over time.
