Tickets are now on sale for the 2024 Joey’s Song Benefit Concert being held at The Sylvee venue in Madison, Wisconsin on January 6. This year’s format involves a Battle Of The Bands pitting The Know-It-All Boyfriends against The Know-It-All Girlfriends. Participating musicians include Butch Vig and Duke Erikson from Garbage (and, as any rock-savvy Wisconsin fan knows, Spooner), Chris Collingwood from Fountains Of Wayne and Freedy Johnson for the boys; and Gail Greenwood from Belly, Debbi and Vicki Peterson from The Bangles, and Linda Pitmon from The Minus Five for the girls. Joey’s Song is a charity devoted to raising money for epilepsy research and to provide services for children with special needs.
Noted blues singer-guitarist Ronnie Baker Brooks will perform at City Winery Chicago on November 22.
The Music For Mars multi-artist event scheduled for this Saturday at Metro in Chicago has changed from a benefit to a tribute, following the sad news that musician Mars Williams passed away yesterday. Williams, a saxophone player widely respected for his jazz and rock music work, had been battling cancer. His Chicago-based jazz group Liquid Soul will perform on Sunday, along with The Joe Marcinek Band and DJ Jesse De La Pena, along with special guests Jeff Coffin from The Dave Matthews Band and recording artist Ike Reilly. Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 on the day of the event, and there’s a $150 table for two option.
