 <\/p>\n

In July 1961, the Recording Academy opened its doors in Chicago as the third Chapter after New York and L.A. Not only did the Chapter represent Chicago recording artists, but those from across the Midwest including Minneapolis, Detroit and Milwaukee. As the Chapter began to grow, so did the area’s music diversity. The soft soul which was driving the “Chicago sound” began to share the stage with a burgeoning rock scene.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Chicago Chapter has been working for 60 years to build, engage and serve the music community across all genres. While maybe most well-known for blues and jazz, the city boasts a much larger gamut of genre communities from rock to hip-hop to classical. In its history, Chicago has boasted hundreds of GRAMMY nominees and winners, with many local artists on the horizon.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Chicago Chapter has evolved since 1961 to represent music makers from every genre and at every level of their career. Supplying artists and recording professionals with educational and networking opportunities and advocating on their behalf, the Recording Academy is an integral part of the local Chicago music community.<\/p>\n
