At Chicago Music Guide, we hold ourselves to a clear standard: every article we publish must be accurate, fair, and genuinely useful to our readers.
Who We Are
Chicago Music Guide is an independent music news and events publication covering concerts, tours, album releases, and industry trends across the United States. All content on this site is written and reviewed by Leo Hart, a music industry professional with over a decade of experience in live event management and concert production.
Our Editorial Standards
Accuracy First Every story we publish is based on verified information from reliable sources — official artist announcements, venue communications, press releases, and established music industry outlets. We do not publish rumors or unverified claims.
Independence Chicago Music Guide operates independently. We are not paid to cover any artist, event, or label. Our coverage decisions are made solely on the basis of newsworthiness and reader interest.
Corrections Policy If we make an error, we correct it promptly and transparently. Corrections are noted directly within the article with a clear update timestamp.
Source Transparency Where possible, we link to original sources so readers can verify information themselves. We credit all photographers, publications, and press offices whose material we reference.
AI & Technology Use
We use technology to assist with research and drafting. However, all final content is reviewed, edited, and approved by Leo Hart before publication. We do not publish raw AI output. Every article reflects human editorial judgment.
Advertising & Sponsored Content
Chicago Music Guide displays third-party advertisements to support site operations. Ads are clearly separated from editorial content. We do not accept payment for editorial coverage, and advertisers have no influence over our reporting.
