Legendary reggae group The Wailers, along with Tomorrow’s Bad Seeds & Duane Stephenson are bringing “The Uprising Tour” to the House of Blues this January. They will be performing the last album they recorded with Bob Marley, “Uprising,” before his untimely passing. The group consists of original members and the album contains one of the most well-known Wailers songs, if not all of pop music, “Redemption Song.”

The direction staff has been hitting the hipster, hippie and other culturally interesting neighborhoods of Chicago with posters and fliers for this performance.

San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino Presents: The Wailers – The Uprising Tour with Tomorrow’s Bad Seeds & Duane Stephenson comes to the House of Blues on January 21. For tickets and more information please visit houseofblues.com.

The House of Blues is more than music. In addition to bringing some of the best blues, soul, rock, hip-hop and R and B acts to Chicago, the House of Blues also features a weekly gospel brunch. Besides the brunch food you would expect like eggs, bread, seafood, ham and more, the brunch also features an omelet station and fresh, made to order waffles. What seperates this food destination from the rest is the music. Each week features gospel acts performing on stage throughout the morning and early afternoon.

The direction team has been distributing posters for the House of Blues Gospel Brunch to our urban hipster route.

House of Blues Chicago World Famous Gospel Brunch takes place every Sunday morning at 10am and 12:30pm. Please visit houseofblues.com for more information.

Both on separate tours, Ozomatli and Steel Pulse will be making their way to the House of Blues in Chicago in May. Currently promoting their new album Fire Away (which comes out on April 20th), Ozomatli are tearing up the road and venue circuit with their unique blend of Latin, Jazz, Hip Hop, and funk.  Steel Pulse, who are touring with Toots and the Mytals, are rocking venues across the country with their stone cold reggae grooves.
