While filming Animal House, John Belushi saw bluesman Curtis Salgado and fell in love with the blues. Meanwhile Dan Aykroyd, while working on SNL, rented an underground blues bar close to the studio to play music with the cast & crew after-hours. Soon enough, the duo made their bluesy black suit-and tie debut on Saturday Night Live, performing Slim Harpo’s “I’m A King Bee” in 1976. The rest was Blues Brothers history.

This quality embroidered hat features Chance Records and Chicago, Illinois. Chance Records was a Chicago-based blues label that captured the raw, postwar electric blues sound coming out of the city in the 1950s. It’s closely associated with influential Chicago blues artists and represents a pivotal moment when the blues moved from Southern roots to an urban, electrified edge.
