Seating is assigned to ensure efficiency of service. Ticket price DOES NOT include food and drink. Blake Zweig is a Chicago-based indie-folk singer-songwriter blending delicate guitar work and subtle harmonica with introspective, hopeful vocal melodies. Drawing inspiration from artists like Neil Young, Mike Kinsella (Owen, American Football), Elliott Smith, and Damien Jurado, his warm, mindful and heartfelt performances leave audiences feeling relaxed, uplifted, and thoughtfully connected. Al Rose is a mesmerizing, challenging, insightful and ultimately delightful songwriter with a unique command of wordplay combined with considerable musical acumen that is captured on his 8 album releases. His albums have received critical praise along with extensive airplay on AAA and Americana stations throughout the US and Europe. The Chicago-based performer has played coast-to-coast and has toured in Europe and Japan. He captivates audiences whether he’s solo live or accompanied by any number of his band, The Transcendos, in any configuration. This drives the songs each night, but the songs have always been what drive the musicians. As a craftsman, Al’s honed his songwriting to a fine edge. He’s got a real gift for melody, and each line cuts just the way he wants—whether to make you laugh or cry. He’s backed up the words with catchy, well-nigh addictive tunes. It’s a kind of protest music:he’s sounding the alarm against complacency. Singing us sweetly through the dark, reaching for the sky, scattering catchy hooks and joyful choruses behind him as he goes, Al has crafted a cathartic set of songs for our times. It may see us through times even darker than these.
