High School Blues Bands
In the same way that Chicago high schools have choirs and marching bands and orchestras, we think they should have blues bands. We’re working with top blues educators and West Side high schools to design a model for high school blues band programs.
Vaccine Ambassadors: Watch why these legends got the vaccine...
Blues musicians are Chicago heroes, and they have a real role to play in making sure that everyone who can gets the vaccine. People hear them in a different way than they hear the experts on TV, especially older, African-American Chicagoans who have been hit hardest by the virus. We are working with Chicago’s blues legends to be community ambassadors for the COVID-19 vaccine.
