Chicago's nightlife history is American music history. Two names tell much of the story.
Chess Records: The Sound of the South Side, Turned All the Way Up
Founded by two immigrant brothers from Maxwell Street, Chess Records at 2120 S. Michigan Ave gave the world Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, and the electric blues sound that shaped rock and roll. Our Chess Records art print honors the label's legacy.
Club DeLisa: Bronzeville's Dazzling Stage
Club DeLisa was a jewel of Bronzeville nightlife — an all-night stage where jazz, R&B, and glamour converged for decades. Its story lives on in our Club DeLisa print.
