House of Blues (HOB) is a chain of music halls and restaurants founded in 1992 by Isaac Tigrett, co-founder of Hard Rock, and Dan Aykroyd. House of Blues is a venue for live music and southern-inspired cuisine that emphasizes "inspiration of music for the soul".
Overview
The first HOB opened its doors on November 26, 1992 at Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The club was financed by Dan Aykroyd, Aerosmith, Paul Shaffer, River Phoenix, Jim Belushi and Harvard University among others. This venue has since closed however, the original hands-in-concrete driveway still remains.
Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi remain closely associated with the brand and are present for most openings, most recently they attended in Houston and Boston.
HOB currently owns and operates 12 clubs throughout North America with its location in Atlantic City being franchised.
On July 5, 2006, Live Nation, the largest live entertainment company, acquired House of Blues.
Locations
Current locations include Lake Buena Vista, Florida; Cleveland; Myrtle Beach; Chicago; New Orleans; Minneapolis; West Hollywood; Anaheim; San Diego; Dallas; and Houston.
House of Blues also operates in Mandalay Bay on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada and the Showboat in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
On January 29, 2008, The Boston Globe reported that while in the midst of a multi-million dollar renovation of his Lansdowne Street clubs behind Fenway Park, Nightlife Impresario Patrick T. Lyons sold them to the House of Blues. The new Boston House of Blues, which includes the company's signature southern-inspired restaurant and Members-Only Foundation Room, is about 50,000 square feet (4,600 m 2 ), three levels, a fully seated balcony, and VIP boxes.
Note
The headquarters of House of Blues is the headquarters of its parent company, Live Nation, and not of House of Blues itself.
