Best wishes to everyone for a safe and festive New Year’s Eve, and success with all your goals in 2026. Here are a few more items for this week’s Incoming/Weekend Reminders posts.
Drink The Sea, an exotic, experimental band of established musicians that includes R.E.M. founding member Peter Buck, has a U.S. Tour coming in 2026 that will visit several cities, including Boston, Cincinnati, and Philadelphia. Tickets are now on sale for the Drink The Sea concert coming to Chicago’s Old Town School Of Folk Music on February 13.
Chicago-based singer-guitarist Terry White will return to Fitzgerald’s in Berywn, IL this Friday for a happy hour show in the Sidebar. White held a record release party for his latest album You Won’t Have A Name at FitzGerald’s back in September, but this time out, he’ll likely draw from an extensive career that includes solo efforts as well as being in bands such as Modern Day Saints and The Zimmermen. His happy hour show Friday will start at 5:30 pm.
As noted in the British rock magazine Shindig No. 169 (for some reason they don’t go by month), 1960s psychedelic rockers The Strawberry Alarm Clock have released a new album on the Big Stir label. Reviewer Andy Morten gave Monster / White Light four stars, while declaring The Strawberry Alarm Clock “refuse to play the oldies game, instead writing new material that’s as inquisitive and exploratory as their 1967 gear.” Morten also points out the band still has five original members.
Tickets are now on sale for the Bonnie Koloc Trio all-ages show at Hey Nonny in Arlington Heights, IL on March 24. Koloc, a critically acclaimed singer-songwriter, was a driving force in Chicago’s emerging folk scene back in the 1970s. She was a Founders Choice inductee into the Illinois Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame earlier this year.
