 PROFILE
My baby she done left me, my income tax is due; my only hope for living is a beer at the House of Blues. Oh yeah, HOB Entertainment runs eight House of Blues clubs that offer dinner and a show, featuring some of the top blues and rock performers in the country. It also owns and operates 20 concert venues across North America and books more than 250 other venues through House of Blues Concerts. Music distribution via the Internet (HOB Interactive) and other media outlets and artist development round out HOB's operations. Blues Brother Dan Aykroyd co-founded HOB in 1992, based in part on his alter ego, Elwood Blues. Investment firm J.P. Morgan Partners owns about a third of the company.
