Chicago’s own, JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound are playing a free show at Reckless Records in Lakeview on Record Store Day (Saturday 4/20). It’s an acoustic set, but something tells me it’s still going to get crowded in there…

My first camping festival! Figured I should do it before I’m too old…

A bit of a Lollapalooza overlap, but come on, Paul McCartney!

Ah yeah! Rx Bandits are playing the Resignation all the way through in honor of its 10 year anniversary.

I’ve seen Conor Oberst with Bright Eyes, Monsters of Folk, and as himself, but never with Desaparecidos – his rock band. They put out one awesome record called Read Music, Speak Spanish 10 years ago and then disappeared until reuniting for a small reunion tour last summer. This is their first time in Chicago since reforming.
