HOB Entertainment has the low-down, dirty blues -- and that's a good thing. The company owns and operates a dozen House of Blues clubs in cities across the US. The venues offer food, drinks, and live music from some of the top blues and rock performers in the country. Locations include Chicago, Cleveland, Houston, New Orleans, and San Diego. All total, HOB Entertainment hosts more than 3,500 events for some 400,000 attendees each year. Isaac Tigrett, an American entrepreneur and co-founder of the first Hard Rock Cafe in London, opened the first House of Blues venue in 1992. HOB is a subsidiary of live music conglomerate Live Nation Entertainment.
