this year marked the twenty-seventh year of the annual chicago blues festival. as in previous years, the music festival took place in chicago’s grant park. performers, young and old, shared their variations on the blues with large audiences against a backdrop of skyscrapers. multiple stages were set up throughout the park, in addition to a large selection of food and beverage vendors.
as this year would have been the 100th birthday of blues legend howlin’ wolf, the festival was dedicated to him. though howlin’ wolf was originally from mississippi, his recording career was spent in chicago. alongside other legends such as muddy waters, willie dixon, and sonny boy williamson, wolf is credited with developing the unique blues style that came to be known as chicago blues.
attendees were able to hear cover versions of wolf’s songs and witness performances from many of wolf’s former band mates. during the main stage performance on friday night, hubert sumlin, a guitarist who played with wolf for many years, sang the classic “sittin’ on top of the world.”
the chicago blues festival is just one of the many annual music festivals that take place in chicago. other festivals include the chicago gospel music festival, the chicago jazz festival, and the chicago country music festival. admission to these events is free to the public, and people of all ages are welcome.
