I’m Ian, owner of Untold Stories Recordings. I make my living as an audio engineer, but for fun I love history, so I’m diving into the musical past of every Chicago neighborhood. Let me know which one to cover next!”

🎷 1950s–Today: Andy's Jazz Club () opened in River North in the early '50s and became a full-on jazz hotspot in the '70s—still packing in legendary live jazz and blues today!

🖼️ 1970s–80s: Warehouses turned into artist lofts and galleries like Zolla/Lieberman (), Rhona Hoffman and Carl Hammer Gallery () made River North a creative hub, with industrial spaces doubling as musician rehearsal spots. Marina City's iconic towers (finished in the '60s) housed artists and performers, blending visual and music scenes.

🤘 Early 1980s: O’Banion’s on Clark Street—named after gangster Dion O'Banion—was Chicago's punk epicenter. Legends like Naked Raygun , Articles of Faith, The Subverts and Trial By Fire rocked the stage!

🎙️ 1990s: Chicago Recording Company (CRC) solidified River North as the recording district by the '90s. Icons like Smashing Pumpkins (), Wilco () cut tracks there, shaping Chicago's sound.

🌃 1990s–Today: River North evolved into a nightlife powerhouse with House of Blues (), Blue Chicago and The Bassment () keeping blues, jazz, house, and rock thriving.

River North recording studio vibes run deep—let's make your music part of Chicago history! 🎤
