Description

Rosa’s Blues Lounge has launched an independent record label to highlight the work of unrecorded artists. Plus, the label aims to ensure artists retain rights to their intellectual property. Chicago blues artist, Billy Branch, was the first performer on Rosa's stage — now 41 years later, he and his band were the first to sign with Rosa’s Record Label which launched Aug. 1. Reset speaks with Billy Branch and co-founders of the label, Tony Mangiullo and Marni Willenson about the story of the venue, the creation of the label and how this could contribute to Chicago’s blues scene.
