Incoming


It may sound like a mid-1960s espionage flick, but The Brad Elvis Conversation is an experimental, jazz-influenced quintet that will be performing from 5:00 to 7:00 pm tomorrow (August 17) at the Northman Riverwalk Beer And Cider Garden. In addition to veteran drummer Brad Elvis (The Handcuffs, The Elvis Brothers, The Romantics, and Screams), the Conversation will feature Chloe F. Orwell from The Handcuffs on sax, bassist Charlie Short, sax player Chris Greene, and synth player Bill Higgnz. If I’m correctly understanding Brad’s Facebook post (you have to love the black and white graphics), this will be an instrumental outing. Admission for the all-ages show is free; The Northman Riverwalk is located at 233 E. Riverwalk in downtown Chicago.


The Ides Of March Featuring Jim Peterik have a concert tomorrow night at City Winery Chicago, and vocalist Bettye LaVette will be showcasing her latest album LaVette! at the venue this Sunday evening. Earlier, at noon on Sunday, Phil Angotti and Friends will continue their monthly Beatles Brunch series. 

 

Singer-songwriter Rob Schulz returns for another solo acoustic gig at Merkle’s Bar and Grill this Saturday from 4:00 to 7:00 pm. The venue’s 3516 N. Clark location is within walking distance of Wrigley Field and the show starts immediately after the Chicago Cubs vs. Kansas City Royals game. 


Congratulations to The Goodman Theatre’s production of The Who’s Tommy on the various nominations it has received for the 55th Annual Jeff Awards. The categories include Production Of A Musical (Large); Ensemble For A Musical or Revue; Director Of A Musical (Large); Performer In A Principal Role - Musical: and Musical (Large) most liked by Terry Flamm. Just kidding about that last one.


Singer-guitarist Michael Steven Cohen will be performing Vintage Love Songs this Friday from 7:00 to 10:00 pm at the Tuscan Market And Wine Shop in Arlington Heights.
