Narrated by Dan Aykroyd and Executive Produced by Jim Belushi and Elliot Roberts, BORN IN CHICAGO was directed by John Anderson (Horn From The Heart: The Paul Butterfield Story, Brian Wilson Presents Smile), and Bob Sarles (BANG! The Bert Berns Story, Sweet Blues: A Film About Mike Bloomfield). Original music for the film was composed by Jimmy Vivino and Barry Goldberg.
BORN IN CHICAGO is the story of first-generation blues performers who had made their way to Chicago from the Mississippi Delta and their ardent and unexpected followers -suburban, middle-class kids who followed the evocative music to smoky clubs deep in Chicago's ghettos.
These young, white Chicago musicians apprenticed themselves to legends such as Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf, nurturing relationships of respect, warmth, and admiration. These blues legends recognized the budding musician’s enthusiasm and welcomed them, happy to share their world. The film is a heartwarming ode to the power of community, acceptance, and music.
