The Illinois Rock Hall of Fame Ceremony was a benefit for the charitable cause of music education. Delmark Records was honored as a label inductee, and all the honorees, including Julia Miller from Delmark, signed guitars which were raffled off. @illinois_rockrollmuseum— at Rialto Square Theatre.
Julia A. Miller and Elbio Barilari accepted this new distinction for the Chicago blues and jazz label. Delmark’s Elbio and Julia were honored to represent Delmark as a label inductee into the Illinois Rock and Roll Hall of Fame @mickfreon
The Legendary Billy Branch and Ronnie Baker Brooks played a great tribute after the induction of four blues heirs: Marion Diaz (Little Walter), Bettye Kelly/Barbra Marx (Howlin Wolf), Evelyn Tan Cooper (Bo Diddley), Freddie Dixon (Willie Dixon). Freddie Dixon’s band also performed. Thanks Lynn Orman & Rosa Branch. It was phenomenal to experience The Chi-Lites & Marshall Thompson on their induction
