WE HAVE FILMED OVER 100 CHICAGO BLUES ARTISTS WHO LIVE, EAT, BREATH, AND SLEEP THE BLUES.
EACH MUSICIAN WILL HAVE THEIR OWN EPISODE THAT DOCUMENTS THEIR BIOGRAPHY. COVERING THE BEGINNING OF THEIR LIVES, TO HOW THEY GOT STARTED IN THE BLUES, WHO THEY PLAYED WITH, AND THEIR CURRENT DAYS DURING THE PANDEMIC.
TOUCHING ON RACIAL ISSUES, GENRE RECOGNITION, MIGRATION, AND INFLUENCES. EACH ARTIST IS RESEARCHED PRIOR TO THEIR INTERVIEW AND ASKED QUESTIONS BASED ON THEIR LIVES. EACH MUSICIAN WILL HAVE THEIR INDIVIDUAL EPISODE. THERE WILL BE 11 SEASONS ALL TOGETHER , AS WELL AS A MEMORIAM FOR THE ARTISTS THAT DIDN’T GET TO TELL THEIR STORIES.
THIS IS A UNIQUE AND INDIVIDUALIZED WAY TO CAPTURE AND ARCHIVE THEIR STORIES. EACH EPISODE WILL RUN (DEPENDING ON HOW LONG THEY TALK) 45-1HR AN 45 MINUTES.
