Alligator Records’ Bruce Iglauer Named A Chicagoan Of The Year

It is with great pleasure that we congratulate our longtime friend and client, Alligator Records’ Bruce Iglauer for being named one of nine Chicagoans of the year by The Chicago Tribune. Alligator Records kicked off 2011 in February with the release of the 2-CD set The Alligator Records 40th Anniversary Collection. In June, during the Chicago Blues Festival, Iglauer received a proclamation from Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Mayor Emanuel honored Iglauer’s contribution to the city’s musical heritage on a night dedicated to the label’s anniversary, featuring performances by blues icons Lonnie Brooks, Eddy “The Chief” Clearwater, Michael “Iron Man” Burks, Rick Estrin, and Shemekia Copeland.  Among the many other highlights of the label’s 40th anniversary, in July, rolled out a new Alligator Records website built by 305 Spin featuring over 3,000 track samples from over 280 albums by more than 100 of the leading blues artists from yesterday and today. 305 Spin is very proud of everything that Alligator Records celebrated in 2011, and we wish them continued success and growth in 2012 and for many years to come.

Check out the website at www.alligator.com. And while you are at it join us in congratulating Bruce on Facebook at www.facebook.com/alligatorrecords.
