The Smithereens, Grace Potter, Ida Mae, and Fastball are among the bands scheduled to appear at the Gears And Guitars Music Festival taking place this Friday through Sunday at Bailey Park in Winston-Salem, NC.
Truth is, this joint rocks. Liars Club, located at 1665 W. Fullerton on Chicago’s north side, has a number of noteworthy bands scheduled for this weekend.

WXRT 93.1 FM will air I’m Listening - Talk has the power to save lives from 6:00 to 8:00 PM tomorrow, September 23. Hosted by Carson Daly and psychologist/author Dr. Alfiee M. Ireland-Noble, the program will feature well-known entertainers, including Tom Morello, Lizzo, Shakira, Billie Eilish, Darius Rucker, and Brad Schulz, formerly with Cage The Elephant discussing mental health and offering advice. And a tip of the hat to WXRT’s air personalities, for promoting I’m Listening with such compassion. The special can also be accessed through the Audacy app.

Yippie Fest came about a few years back when the annual Abbie Hoffman Died For Our Sins Festival—well, died—after its sponsor Mary-Arrchie Theatre closed down. Frank Carr, a founding member of the Famous In The Future Comedy Group, decided to carry on the tradition. It was logical move since Famous In The Future was the only act other than Mary-Arrchie Theatre itself, to have appeared at every single Abbie Fest.
