Show Calendar
July 2012 – August 2014
I passed up their Lolla pre-show which I heard was amazing so I scored tickets right away for their November return to Chicago at the House of Blues. Should be a pretty good way to celebrate my birthday! If only it wasn’t on a Monday…
Here’s a look at what you missed if you didn’t catch them at Lolla this year. See if you can spot me in the crowd.
Sold Out
My Morning Jacket front man Jim James comes to the Vic for a 420 show.
His new solo album, Regions of Light and Sound of God, is great and is currently streaming for free on NPR’s First Listen.

Sixto Rodriguez is coming to the Arie Crown Theatre for a show put together by the good people at Schuba’s and Lincoln Hall. If you haven’t seen Searching for Sugar Man yet, you should really check out his story of great early 70s records that flopped in the US, unknown fame in South Africa and the hunt for the mysterious man from Detroit.
Opener: Oliver
Opener: Wooden Shjips
To be honest, I’m probably going to be pretty haggard at this point after 5 consecutive days of shows, culminating with Lollapalooza. But if somehow I’m magically alive, I’ll come check out this rad Chicago natives for free in Millennium Park.
