A BREAK WITH THE BLUES

There’s so much blues in Chicago, it’s tough to pick a starting point. But check out this weekend’s city-sponsored WinterBreak blues events: Local nightclubs, like Rosa’s Lounge, the Checkerboard Lounge and Blue Chicago, are part of Friday’s $15 live-concert sampling, from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. 773-772-5506. A five-hour “Roots of the Blues” tour begins at 10:30 a.m. Saturday. $40. 312-742-1190. And a “bluesical” – “I Was There When the Blues Was Red Hot” – continues Friday and Saturday at Gerri’s Palm Tavern, 446 E. 47th St. $10. 773-995-6389.

For WinterBreak details, call 312-744-3315.
