Chicago area Beatles fans will gather at Martyrs’ at 7:00 pm this Friday, February 25 to honor and celebrate what would have been George Harrison’s 79th birthday. The multi-act My Sweet George Birthday Tribute Concert had become an annual event at the Lincoln Avenue music venue before COVID-19 interfered, so it’s good to see it back home again. Ellis Clark from the alt rock band Social Act and Ary Paloma Jeebie from the garage/rockabilly band Amazing Heeby Jeebies will once again share hosting duties. (They also perform on the club circuit as the retro rock duo Big Hair Big Trouble.)
Other performers scheduled to perform include Clar Monaco/Sandalwood Sitar; Phil Angotti Band; The Pepperland Rockestra; Tommy Klein; The New Heartaches; Naomi Ashley Band; The Fluffers; Twisted Rootz; Help Desk; Scott Williams; Pierce Cask; and Ken Mottet. In addition to hearing an amazing selection of George Harrison songs, it’s also a kick to watch musicians from various bands performing together. Tickets are $15 each and can be purchased on the Martyr’s website or at the door. I would recommend buying in advance because this event always drawn a huge crowd.
