Chicago Bluegrass & Blues Festival
Fitzgerald's, Martyrs', Lincoln Hall, Chop Shop

Aiming to showcase the musical styles that have evolved from bluegrass and blues culture, the Chicago Bluegrass & Blues Festival was born in 2008 of a collaboration between Mike Raspatello, Silver Wrapper and React Presents. Since then, the fest has hosted acts like The Avett Brothers, Bela Fleck, Grace Potter, Del McCoury, Edward Sharpe, David Grisman, Drive-By Truckers, Dr. Dog, Dawes, and more, making stops at the Auditorium Theater, Lincoln Hall, House of Blues, Congress Theater, Aragon Ballroom, Concord Music Hall, SPACE, City Winery, Tonic Room, and Double Door.
CBB is back this year with five days of shows across Chicago, featuring the new lager from Founders Brewing: Solid Gold Premium Lager. Tickets to the festival can be purchased HERE and include a pre-show beer tasting from October.
