Chittlin Circuit Magazine

When racism and segregation was woven into every fabric of American culture, most African-American singers and musicians were not permitted to play in mainstream venues across America. Even white Americans who had rhythm and played to sultry toe tapping beats of “Soul Music” were not allowed in the larger cities with that devil music. So their only option was to play in smaller venues in the South, where the pay for their performances was so meager that often times they were paid with a place to stay and a hot chitterling dinner. Hence, the name “Chittlin’ Circuit”.

The original “Chittlin’ Circuit” was the vehicle for hundreds of independent artist to showcase their artful skills to the world. Today, the Chittlin’ Circuit has been retooled in the form of a magazine, website and emerging digital technologies. So the new Chittlin’ Circuit with its synergistic blend of traditional and cutting edge resources is NOW the ENTIRE WORLD!
