The Artist

Ted Aliotta

Ted Aliotta is a cornerstone of the history of Blues and Rock in Chicago. Founding member of the legendary Chicago rock band Aliotta-Haynes-Jeremiah. Their 1971 hit “Lake Shore Drive” became the local theme song for cruising the highways of the city on a Saturday night while listening to this song on the radio. Rumor had it that the song had a veiled reference to LSD. Of course, I have no idea what they meant by that… 

Ted joined us for our 500th episode and shared memories of the Seventies in Chicago and performed his latest songs on a beautiful Gibson guitar given to him by John Cougar Melencamp .
