Regular artists at House of Blues-Chicago, The Blue Olives (based out of Madison, WI) have performed over 3500 shows nationally. Known as one of the fiercest jam bands around, they’re described as “tight enough to be professional, yet loose enough to be really fun.” They feature a hornline, killer vocal harmonies, searing guitar and a funky rhythm section.
