Bluesman Guy turns Hot House into Legends
CHICAGO, (UPI) -- A one-time jazz hangout now is a place for up-and-coming blues artists, thanks to Chicago bluesman Buddy Guy.
Buddy Guy's Legends club, located in the building that was home to Hot House, a jazz and world music club, embodies the longtime dream of its proprietor, a multi-Grammy winning blues superstar, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Friday.
Guy says he not looking to turn a huge profit.
"The purpose of keeping this place here is to give (up-and-coming artists) the same chance to show what they can do that I had when I got to Chicago in 1957," the 73-year-old guitarist and singer said. "Here they can come in and work and get a payday."
