Our Story
The Sons Of Illinois might evoke the spirit of Chicago, but this electrifying blues outfit proudly calls Essex home. Comprised of dedicated students of the genre's titans – from Little Walter and Howlin' Wolf to Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, and Junior Wells – we're passionately committed to keeping the true, raw blues alive. Expect foot-stomping, rabble-rousing performances that not only honour the masters, but also introduce a new audience to the exciting, authentic sound of Chicago blues.
