It's not news that Chicago loves the blues. 'There's a really vibrant, beautiful blues community in the Chicagoland area,' said Will Duncan, owner of FitzGerald's. That's what inspired him to create the Berwyn Blues Festival last year. The 2nd Annual Berwyn Blues Festival Sept. 23-25 will feature nearly 30 top blues performers and bands. Duncan said that FitzGerald's is ideally suited for music festivals, citing the American Music Festival, which has run there for nearly 40 years. 'It's one of the longest-running music festivals in the country,' he said.
