Bruce Iglauer

[Jan Schakowsky @janschakowsky]

In 1971, using all the money in his savings, Bruce Iglauer invested in his favorite Chicago blues band, and the rest is history. The rich, vibrant blues scene in Chicago is just one of the many things that makes our city so great. Congrats @alligator1971! https://t.co/XBv4pQv4b7
