June 6 Line-up:
Fountain Plaza
“Rocks Off” is Chicago’s premier and authentic Rolling Stones tribute, delivering the music, the look, and the attitude of the World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band! Rocks Off captures the riffs, the groves, and the blazing Mick Jagger solo’s from their golden era of 1968-1973, a la Ladies and Gentlemen and the Brussels Affair. But let’s not overlook the songs of the mid 60’s that launched the Stones as rock and roll superstars; Rocks Off nails all your favorites from the Brian Jones and Ronnie Wood eras. If you want to see the next best thing to being there 40 years ago, come and see It’s only rock and roll, but we LOVE it…and you will, too!
North York Plaza
“The Snuffy Brothers” are an acoustic guitar/percussion duo that celebrate the power of harmony with rhythm and blues, soul and roots music. Dave Hendricks and Elmhurst resident Kyle Olson cover a lot of ground from Stevie Wonder to Van Morrison to The Lumineers with some grit and a smile. Adding a fresh new take and sweet harmonies to songs you love and soon-to-be favorites are what The Snuffy Brothers are all about.
