Siegel-Schwall Blues Band
 
During the late '60s, Corky Siegel (an excellent harmonica player) and Jim Schwall combined to form a band that combined the era's most popular revival genres, blues and folk, and was itself one of the city's best-known acts of the early '70s. Sly, folksy lyrics distinguished them from the white blues acts of the time.

They performed with folks ranging from Howlin' Wolf, The Jefferson Airplane and the Boston Pops and even got back together for a mainstage performance at the 1997 Chicago Blues Festival.

At the moment, Siegel is apparently trying to fuse blues and chamber music - see Corky Siegel's Chamber Blues.
