A Dedication
This site is dedicated to the great city of Chicago, the artists who give it its soul and my wife and children who have supported me in my belief for our city’s artistic future.
This site is also dedicated to the youth of today who are our future, if we neglect our children, we neglect our future…

About Us
Chicago Music Guide is a music resource webzine dedicated to working with all entities of the music and entertainment industry.
Founded by Dennis M. Kelly in 2004, Chicago Music Guide began as a reference for friends and quickly grew into a multimedia guide throughout the Chicagoland area. Chicago Music Guide holds a desire and mission to highlight, educate, and assist musicians and all those involved in the music industry in a timely, relevant, and personable fashion.
Many of the staff members of Chicago Music Guide are current/past musicians or other members of the music industry community, ensuring a unique presentation and extra care to artists, professionals, and readers.
Non-Profit
In addition to working with the music industry and artists, Chicago Music Guide works with the community in Chicago with non-profit organizations on music related events.
In 2005, disaster struck in Asia and Chicago Music Guide responded by holding two benefit concerts and in turn donating the money to the CARE organization. We are pleased to report that we raised $3,000.00+ to aid in their relief.
