About this business
The Willie Dixon's Blues Heaven, is a nonprofit group, set up by the late blues great Willie Dixon. He was a great Blues lyricist, and wrote a lot of songs for Chess Records. With an aim to preserve and promote blues legacy, he started this foundation in the studio formerly owned by Chess Records. To serve this purpose, several scholarship programs and diverse events are held here. A gift store is open in front, while the old studios are upstairs. There are many artifacts on hand as well!
