Dan Aykroyd's House of Blues

About

Dan Aykroyd's House of Blues is a vibrant chain of live music venues and restaurants that combine Southern-inspired cuisine with an energetic atmosphere. Founded in 1992 by Aykroyd and Isaac Tigrett, the first location opened in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The restaurants offer a menu featuring made-from-scratch dishes, blending blues-inspired culture with delicious food. Locations across the U.S., including Chicago, Anaheim, and New Orleans, provide unique dining experiences alongside live performances. Each House of Blues location is designed to reflect the local culture, with the New Orleans venue, for example, housed in a restored 19th-century warehouse in the French Quarter. The chain is known for hosting a variety of musical genres, not limited to blues, and features both renowned and emerging artists. As part of Live Nation Entertainment since 2006, House of Blues continues to thrive as a beloved destination for music lovers and food enthusiasts alike.
