Chicago Bar
Inducted in 2017
The Chicago Bar has been supporting live music
in Tucson for nearly 40 years. It remains one of
the few venues to feature live music 7 nights a
week. When Kathy Warner and Bill Shew
owned the bar they were instrumental in bringing
Sam Taylor from Los Angeles to Tucson where he
decided to make AZ his home.
In addition to Sam, other Arizona Blues Hall of
Fame members, Tommy Walker and the Boogieman
Blues Band, Tony and the Torpedoes, Anna Warr,
Heather Hardy, George Howard, the Bad News Blues
Band and Long John Hunter have all played
regularly at the Chicago Bar.
The bar was bought by Jennifer Loraine six years
ago and she vowed to keep the music alive.
Through the ups and downs she never gave
up. She fully supports the Southern AZ
Blues scene as well as Rock and Reggae.
You can see Tucson's premier Reggae band Neon
Prophet every Saturday night and The Bad News
Blues Band every Wednesday. Heather Hardy
can be found at Chicago Bar on the occasional
Sunday or Friday.
There's always something good for the music
scene happening at the Chicago Bar.
