Missing the free exchange of ideas and the surprises that inevitably occur when a group of simpatico musici ans lock together\, Farrar assembled a new lineup of Son Volt in 2004 and has since released nine albums. The latest album\, Sound Signal Serenade s \, was released a s a special 2026 Record Store Day limited edition LP. Jay Farrars work often seeks out the ghosts of Americas discordant or fo rgotten past\, converses at length with them\, and writes songs that stak e a claim to a better future.\n\nA stop on a 10-date tour.\n\nhttps://www .ticketweb.com/event/sold-out-son-space-tickets/14898843\n\nhttps://place tobe.cc/place/sold-out-son-volt--08b1fa5d-0368-4b51-b300-d4735865bc98?utm _source=feed&utm_medium=syndication&utm_campaign=calendar-evanston URL:https://placetobe.cc/place/sold-out-son-volt--08b1fa5d-0368-4b51-b300- d4735865bc98?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=syndication&utm_campaign=calendar -evanston CATEGORIES:MUSIC END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:place-51a3ccc8-9156-4e71-81c4-d3223ec12109@placetobe DTSTAMP:20260920T044802Z DTSTART:20261107T020000Z DTEND:20261107T050000Z SUMMARY:Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen LOCATION:SPACE\, 1245 Chicago Avenue\, Evanston DESCRIPTION:After thirty-five years of being at the forefront of the ever- evolving musical landscape of New Orleans\, Grammy Award winner Jon Clear y decided to bring that sound back home\, both figuratively and literally . He assembled his Absolute Monster Gentlemen (his acclaimed all-star big band) in his home studio in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans\, dr ew up a setlist of some of his most beloved songs and some new favorites and rolled tape.We set out to capture that sound in the old-fashioned way : everybody in the room\, playing together\, Cleary explains.The result i s The Bywater Sessions\, a musical tour-de-force that showcases the grit\ , funk and joy thats packed concert halls from New Orleans to Tokyo and b eyond. Co-produced by Cleary and John Porter (Roxy Music\, The Smiths\, T aj Mahal)\, its a stunning collection of performances that affirms Cleary s place in the New Orleans musical vanguard.Theres a lot to be said for t he lean and mean sound of a piano trio\, stripped down to basics\, simple and direct\, Cleary says. But recently\, Ive been experimenting with dif ferent combinations\; adding horns\, guitar\, percussion and even another keyboard player. This expanded line-up has allowed the arrangements to b lossom in new directions.As for the musicians\, its the best of the best. Long time Monster Gentlemen Cornell Williams and A.J. Hall anchor the ba nd on bass and drums\, respectively. They are joined by Nigel Hall (Lettu ce) on Hammond organ\, Pedro Segundo (Ronnie Scotts All Stars) on percuss ion\, Xavier Lynn (MonoNeon\, Ledisi) on guitar\, and an all-star horn se ction of Aaron Narcisse (Delfeayo Marsalis & the Uptown Jazz Orchestra)\, Charlie Halloran (Squirrel Nut Zippers\, Preservation Hall All Stars) an d Jason Mingledorff (Galactic).Sophisticated\, nasty\, good-time\, low-do wn funk is the folk music of New Orleans\, Cleary says. Everyone playing on this recording is a New Orleanian by birth or by choice\, having learn ed their craft at the feet of the masters who in turn were taught by the old lions in their day - its a tradition stretching back over two hundred years. The roots go deep\, but each generation\, growing up with street parades and second-lines\, absorbs the old and introduces the new\, gentl y coaxing the essential essence into and out of each succeeding decade.\n \nA stop on a 8-date tour.\n\nhttps://www.ticketweb.com/event/jon-cleary- the-absolute-space-tickets/14277324\n\nhttps://placetobe.cc/place/jon-cle

In order to capture the perfect shot\, one has to be ready for fragmentary s hifts in illumination. In that spirit\, Caught Light is Great Lake Swimme rs ninth album\, and perhaps their most nimble: be prepared\, dont overth ink\, act fast.Founder Tony Dekker has always been akin to a wildlife pho tographer\, often choosing to make records in unique surroundings with a connection to Ontario history. This time\, he holed up in the Ganaraska F orest\, between Peterborough and Port Hope\, with producer Darcy Yates (B ahamas) and engineer Jimmy Bowskill (Blue Rodeo). Their goal was to tap t he warmth of early 70s folk/pop/rock\, whether it be the cozy sonic sweat er of Gordon Lightfoots classic work\, or the gentleness of underrated Am erican songwriter Dory Previn. Dekker made everyone listen to John Martyn s 1971 album Bless the Weather before the session.For the first time\, De kker ceded control to a producer\, albeit one who had once been the bassi st in Great Lake Swimmers (2007-08). Yates chose the studio and the backi ng band\, which included veteran drummer Gary Craig (Bruce Cockburn\, Jan n Arden)\, who Dekker calls the Jim Keltner of Canada. Tracking was compl eted in three days\, Nashville-style\, with only two days of overdubs\, i ncluding Colleen Browns backing vocals. Compare that with 2023s Uncertain Country\, which took three pandemic-stricken years to make.Caught Light was captured in the shortest amount of time Dekker had ever spent making a record\, and its likely to be the one with perhaps the longest impact. Thats because Caught Light is not just the most fully realized Great Lake Swimmers album in years\, but it also leads off with two of Dekkers stro ngest singles.One More Dance Around the Sun is an open-window\, summer-dr iving song to accompany a golden-hour trip through the backroads of your childhood hometown. Dekker himself moved back to the Niagara area during the pandemic\, with his partner and two young children. I spent the first half of my life trying to get out of the small town where I was born and raised\, and Im spending the second half getting back there\, says the s ongwriter who lived in Toronto his entire adult life until now. Its an od e to the familiarity and the joy in that and the repetition of seeing the same faces and places\, knowing all of that very well. Its also importan t to feel grounded in community\, to feel the power of that in a specific place\, keeping ones moral compass fixed in the right direction.\n\nA st op on a 11-date tour.\n\nhttps://www.ticketweb.com/event/great-lake-swimm ers-space-tickets/14197794\n\nhttps://placetobe.cc/place/great-lake-swimm ers--91f99252-ca75-47aa-952d-567016560c06?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=synd ication&utm_campaign=calendar-evanston URL:https://placetobe.cc/place/great-lake-swimmers--91f99252-ca75-47aa-952 d-567016560c06?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=syndication&utm_campaign=calend ar-evanston CATEGORIES:MUSIC END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:place-6d5f3abc-e373-44e9-9546-86628add9501@placetobe DTSTAMP:20260920T044802Z DTSTART:20261113T010000Z DTEND:20261113T040000Z SUMMARY:Northwestern Wildcats Women's Volleyball vs. Iowa Womens Volleybal l LOCATION:Welsh Ryan Arena / McGaw Hall\, 1501 Central St\, Evanston DESCRIPTION:Match day.\n\nhttps://www.ticketmaster.com/northwestern-wildca ts-womens-volleyball-vs-iowa-evanston-illinois-11-12-2026/event/040065139 8A6CD20\n\nhttps://placetobe.cc/place/northwestern-wildcats-women-s-volle yball-vs-iowa-womens-volleyball--6d5f3abc-e373-44e9-9546-86628add9501?utm _source=feed&utm_medium=syndication&utm_campaign=calendar-evanston URL:https://placetobe.cc/place/northwestern-wildcats-women-s-volleyball-vs -iowa-womens-volleyball--6d5f3abc-e373-44e9-9546-86628add9501?utm_source= feed&utm_medium=syndication&utm_campaign=calendar-evanston CATEGORIES:SPORTS END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:place-6363d355-ad99-40bc-8d36-95502dee722e@placetobe DTSTAMP:20260920T044802Z DTSTART:20261128T180000Z DTEND:20261128T210000Z SUMMARY:Northwestern vs Illinois and The Great Chicago Food Festival LOCATION:Ryan Field\, 1501 Central\, Evanston DESCRIPTION:A football game.\n\nhttps://www.ticketmaster.com/northwestern- vs-illinois-and-the-great-evanston-illinois-11-28-2026/event/0400651DEE4B 2909\n\nhttps://placetobe.cc/place/northwestern-vs-illinois-and-the-great -chicago-food-festival--6363d355-ad99-40bc-8d36-95502dee722e?utm_source=f eed&utm_medium=syndication&utm_campaign=calendar-evanston URL:https://placetobe.cc/place/northwestern-vs-illinois-and-the-great-chic ago-food-festival--6363d355-ad99-40bc-8d36-95502dee722e?utm_source=feed&u tm_medium=syndication&utm_campaign=calendar-evanston CATEGORIES:SPORTS END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:place-fc5eaeeb-bce8-4f63-9892-61cfe845cfe0@placetobe DTSTAMP:20260920T044802Z DTSTART:20260926T010000Z DTEND:20260926T040000Z SUMMARY:Devon Gilfillian – Time Will Tell Tour w.

Arc Iris LOCATION:SPACE\, 1245 Chicago Avenue\, Evanston DESCRIPTION:Ive always wanted to make work thats a reflection of my life e xperience\, says singer-guitarist James Petralli\, leader of venturous L. A.-based rockers White Denim. The just-below-the-surface significance to 13 as an album title is that I was born on the thirteenth of August. 13 i n numerology can signify independence\, creativity\, and a solid foundati on\, but inversely is often considered to be unlucky and can signify chao s and misfortune. Like everyone\, I can certainly see both sides in my li fe.13 also happens to be the thirteenth album of White Denims career. An incandescent\, groove-heavy alchemy of rock\, funk\, dub\, soul and down- dirty blues and plenty more besides its imbued with the same questing spi rit thats been the bands trademark since first starting in Austin\, Texas \, some 20 years ago.Petrallis wide-ranging musical appetites have become more voracious over time. The sounds and textures of 13 are informed by everyone from Scritti Politti to The Gap Band\, Terry Reid to King Tubby\ , Caetano Veloso to John Cale\, Stevie Wonder to 80s-era Steve Winwood. S uch diversity is reflected in multi-faceted gems like (God Created) Lock And Key\, Only A Fool and Thats Rap.The seed of the project is rooted in the irresistible Chew Nails. Its a straightforward glam-rock tune\, says Petralli. My take on the New York Groove\, which is itself a take on the Bo Diddley beat. It has a big ol guitar riff and a singalong chorus. Its familiar territory for me\, yet the vocal is perhaps more forward than mo st things Ive done for the band. Its the song that made me feel like I wa s definitely making a White Denim album.The duality of 13 is immediately apparent. The pungent funk-blues of opener (God Created) Lock And Key beg ins with a piece of waggish self-mythology On the thirteenth day God crea ted White Denim but soon goes somewhere darker. This is a Beefheart / Sun Ra sort of thing\, Petralli explains. I hope that its a somewhat terrify ing\, startling\, and visceral piece for everyone that hears it. Everythi ng I say in that song is the truth. Its about power\, generational cycles of abuse\, shame\, violence\, and survival. The things that we all under stand and know and see and push down to get through the day.\n\nA stop on a 7-date tour.\n\nhttps://www.ticketweb.com/event/white-denim-w-arc-iris -space-tickets/14817723\n\nhttps://placetobe.cc/place/white-denim-w-arc-i ris--72d3a508-68f4-4125-b099-5bbff068959b?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=synd ication&utm_campaign=calendar-evanston URL:https://placetobe.cc/place/white-denim-w-arc-iris--72d3a508-68f4-4125- b099-5bbff068959b?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=syndication&utm_campaign=cal endar-evanston CATEGORIES:MUSIC END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:place-e64439bc-4aef-4dcf-8ff1-6b7546a083eb@placetobe DTSTAMP:20260920T044802Z DTSTART:20261016T003000Z DTEND:20261016T033000Z SUMMARY:Laura Veirs w. Karl Blau LOCATION:SPACE\, 1245 Chicago Avenue\, Evanston DESCRIPTION:Laura Veirs returns with Temple Songs\, her first album in fou r yearsand the first she has written\, recorded\, arranged\, produced\, a nd performed entirely on her own. I didnt know if I would write songs aga in\, says Veirs\, who spent the intervening years building a backyard stu dio\, getting married\, blending a family with four teenagers\, deepening her visual art practice (painting)\, and expanding her music teaching. T urns out that period was a gathering phase. When I made the commitment to recording the album myself\, the muse caught me again and it came togeth er very quickly.Written and recorded in three months in the fall of 2025 in Veirs backyard Temple of Bloom studio\, Temple Songs marks a new level of artistic independence. While 2022s Found Light (co-produced by Veirs and Shahzad Ismaily) was a declaration of autonomy\, Temple Songs goes fu rther: every creative decisionwhat to record\, how to record it\, and how it should soundwas Veirs alone. Made with just two mics and a laptop in a 10 x 14 room\, the album feels unmistakably Veirs-ian\, yet strikingly new.Veirs embraced the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi throughout the proce ss\, choosing not to pitch-correct vocals or edit out rough edges. I want ed to make something that sounds as organic and human as possible\, she s ays. Mixing by Philip Weinrobe (Adrienne Lenker) adds sympathetic finishi ng touches to Veirs 14th solo album.Because the Temple of Bloom wasnt bui lt for recording\, the studio itself became a collaborator. Veirs paused takes for rain on the skylightor let it stay. She waited out neighbors co nversations\, raced to finish a sensitive vocal before a stump grinder ro ared to life\, and included the presence of resident bluejays\, passing c rows\, and other neighborhood sounds. These ambient intrusions lend the a lbum an intimate\, lived-in authenticity.Influences range from Mac DeMarc os commitment to trusting his personal taste to the anarchists and femini sts of the late 1800s and their rallying cry\, no gods\, no masters. It w as hard to get the white man off my shoulder\, Veirs says. I wrestled wit h a lot of doubt. But there were many happy accidents and eventually I fo und a flowseeing the studio again\, for the first time since my 20s\, as a private place for exploration.Clocking in at a concise 30 minutes\, Tem ple Songs 11 tracks capture a songwriter in peak form. The album is intim ate\, dreamy\, brave and quietly defiant\, built around Veirs intricate f ingerstyle nylon-string guitar\, vulnerable vocals\, and bold electric gu itar embellishments. Arc Still Bends reflects feelings of contemporary fu tility\, offset by a hopeful chorus. Rivers Song\, an ode to one of Veirs children\, showcases her gift for simplicity and emotional precision. Pu lse veers into art-experimental territory\, culminating in a cacophonous duet between electric guitar and sax. No Masters is a sparse\, punk rock call for collective self-determination\, while Sunlight and Doom incorpor ates elemental fragments from the ancient Greek lyricist Sappho.\n\nA sto p on a 9-date tour.\n\nhttps://www.ticketweb.com/event/laura-veirs-w-karl -blau-space-tickets/14921843\n\nhttps://placetobe.cc/place/laura-veirs-w- karl-blau--e64439bc-4aef-4dcf-8ff1-6b7546a083eb?utm_source=feed&utm_mediu m=syndication&utm_campaign=calendar-evanston URL:https://placetobe.cc/place/laura-veirs-w-karl-blau--e64439bc-4aef-4dcf -8ff1-6b7546a083eb?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=syndication&utm_campaign=ca lendar-evanston CATEGORIES:MUSIC END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:place-5088b6d0-d14a-4e58-9c26-ec65ed188cff@placetobe DTSTAMP:20260920T044802Z DTSTART:20261020T003000Z DTEND:20261020T033000Z SUMMARY:Albert Cummings LOCATION:SPACE\, 1245 Chicago Avenue\, Evanston DESCRIPTION:Albert Cummings is an American blues guitarist\, singer\, and songwriter from Massachusetts whose fiery guitar work and soulful voice h ave made him a standout in modern blues-rock.

His newest and fourth full-leng th album\, Blue Stars\, with longtime label La Honda Records\, visits all of the influences and moods of his previous release.After his first albu m\, Fried Chicken & Evil Women\, Emerson built a reputation for live musi c\, finding his grass roots audience night after night. The loyalty among his audience can be attributed to his songwriting\, and the innate gift of experienced lyrics. His self-titled 2021 release\, as well as The Gold en Crystal Kingdom in 2023\, further cemented that foundation\, drawing p raise from the producers he worked with on each of those records\, Rodney Crowell\, and Shooter Jennings\, respectively.With his fourth album\, Bl ue Stars\, Vincent brings together the distinct sound from all three of h is previous releases. Produced by Patrick Lyons and recorded at Gnome Stu dios in Nashville\, TN\, the record benefits from Lyons deeply intuitive approach\, having been close friends with Vincent for many years. For Eme rson\, it was important to capture the sound from the road as closely as possible\, enlisting his touring Red Horse Band to play on the album.Ive known Patrick for years and going into the studio with him felt like a bi g family kind of thing with my band.Blue Stars features 13 original songs and is a testament to his songwriting prowess. Having dabbled across cou ntry\, folk\, and Americana music with his first three records\, Emerson brings all three of those genres together with his latest release. Lyrica lly\, these songs are rooted in his upbringing in East Texas\, life on th e road\, and his deep family ties to Louisiana - three landscapes that co ntinue to shape his perspective and inform his writing.I was definitely t hinking a lot about my childhood in Texas and the trips to Louisiana to v isit my mothers family there. A lot of the music I love comes from those areas\, and I think its important to have a sense of pride in where you c ome from.But sonically\, Blue Stars reaches wider. It brings together the hard country sound of his early work\, the stripped down intimacy of his self-titled record\, and the bold rock n roll of The Golden Crystal King dom. The result is a record that offers something for every listener who has followed his journey - while also serving as a perfect entry point fo r those just discovering his music.\n\nA stop on a 8-date tour.\n\nhttps: //www.ticketweb.com/event/vincent-neil-emerson-space-tickets/14279674\n\n https://placetobe.cc/place/vincent-neil-emerson--dc28a7f3-e111-43cb-b52e- 55208e5f5755?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=syndication&utm_campaign=calendar -evanston URL:https://placetobe.cc/place/vincent-neil-emerson--dc28a7f3-e111-43cb-b5 2e-55208e5f5755?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=syndication&utm_campaign=calen dar-evanston CATEGORIES:MUSIC END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:place-0caa520f-ec7b-4786-9100-08c11023564d@placetobe DTSTAMP:20260920T044802Z DTSTART:20261111T010000Z DTEND:20261111T040000Z SUMMARY:Tyler Ballgame w.

Buffalo Nichols LOCATION:SPACE\, 1245 Chicago Avenue\, Evanston DESCRIPTION:Produced by Butch Walker (Taylor Swift\, Green Day\, Weezer) a nd recorded at his Nashville studio\, Amythyst Kiahs new album Still + Br ight explores the vast expanse of her inner world: her deep-rooted affini ty for Eastern philosophies and spiritual traditions\, a near-mystical co nnection with the natural world\, the life lessons learned in her formati ve years as a self-described anime-nerd mall goth. In dreaming up the bac kdrop to her revelatory storytelling\, Kiah and Walker arrived at a darkl y cinematic and exhilarating twist on the rootsy alt-rock of her 2021 bre akthrough album Wary + Strangean LP that landed on Rolling Stones list of the 25 Best Country and Americana Albums of 2021 and drew acclaim from m ajor outlets like Pitchfork. With its sonic palette encompassing everythi ng from fuzzed-out guitars and industrial-leaning beats to gilded pedal s teel and Kiahs exquisitely graceful banjo work\, Still + Bright fully aff irms her as an artist of both daring originality and uncompromising depth .On Wary + Strange\, Kiah offered up a collection of spellbinding songs d etailing her experience with grief and trauma and alienation\, each illum inating the extraordinary impact of her songwriting. An electrifying show case for her singular musicality and soul-stirring voice\, Kiahs Rounder Records debut soon found many leading critics hailing her as a formidable new talent\, adding to a list of accolades that includes earning a Gramm y nomination for her powerhouse anthem Black Myself. But when it came tim e to create her follow-up\, the Tennessee-born singer/songwriter felt com pelled toward a profound shift in her artistry. On the last record it fel t so cathartic to write about all the pain I was dealing with\, but this time the songs came from a place of finding joy in the music\, says Kiah. In the past I felt so mired down with anxiety that I sometimes held back from what I really wanted to write about\; I felt like I needed to play it safe and keep certain thoughts to myself. But now Im at a point where Im confident in what I value and love\, and because of that Ive made the album Ive always wanted to make.\n\nA stop on a 6-date tour.\n\nhttps://w ww.ticketweb.com/event/amythyst-kiah-w-buffalo-nichols-space-tickets/1492 1043\n\nhttps://placetobe.cc/place/amythyst-kiah-w-buffalo-nichols--25427 511-ad5b-4411-9371-227014e25767?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=syndication&ut m_campaign=calendar-evanston URL:https://placetobe.cc/place/amythyst-kiah-w-buffalo-nichols--25427511-a d5b-4411-9371-227014e25767?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=syndication&utm_cam paign=calendar-evanston CATEGORIES:MUSIC END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:place-a46ae8a8-1cbe-4937-b3ba-7f398695ed5c@placetobe DTSTAMP:20260920T044802Z DTSTART:20261115T020000Z DTEND:20261115T050000Z SUMMARY:Amythyst Kiah LOCATION:SPACE\, 1245 Chicago Ave\, Evanston DESCRIPTION:A stop on a 6-date tour.\n\nhttps://www.ticketmaster.com/event /Z7r9jZ1A70t3k\n\nhttps://placetobe.cc/place/amythyst-kiah--a46ae8a8-1cbe -4937-b3ba-7f398695ed5c?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=syndication&utm_campai gn=calendar-evanston URL:https://placetobe.cc/place/amythyst-kiah--a46ae8a8-1cbe-4937-b3ba-7f39 8695ed5c?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=syndication&utm_campaign=calendar-eva nston CATEGORIES:MUSIC END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:place-4b996c11-850b-4c98-b14a-4b6aede04715@placetobe DTSTAMP:20260920T044802Z DTSTART:20260927T003000Z DTEND:20260927T033000Z SUMMARY:Alicia Witt LOCATION:SPACE\, 1245 Chicago Ave\, Evanston DESCRIPTION:Meet & Greet pre-show tickets available at ticket link: limite d availability. Includes autographs of up to 5 items you bring\, or anyth ing you buy at merch table\, and a photo with Alicia. Starts 2 hours befo re showtime. Between Heaven and Earth\, the haunting and deeply personal new album from Alicia Witt\, arrives August 28 via Thirty Tigers. Recorde d live in New York City with producer Joe Henry and a band assembled spec ifically for the project\, the album exists between transcendence and int imacy\, channeling what Witt describes as \, "rdquo" -> eternal unconditi onal love" and \, "rdquo" -> the place suspended between heaven and earth ." The album was shaped by the influence and memory of David Lynch\, whos e impact on Witt began with her first role as Alia in Dune at age seven. \, "rdquo" -> I can't imagine who I would be without David Lynch\," Witt reflects. \, "rdquo" -> He is weaved throughout the fabric of my life." O n Between Heaven and Earth\, Witt explores what she learned from Lynch \, "rdquo" -> regarding love. The eternal nature of it\, the idea that only love is real." She describes his presence as palpable throughout the rec ording process: \, "rdquo" -> David was with us every day in the studio. All six of us in the band felt his presence." While widely recognized for her acclaimed acting career spanning film\, television\, and stage\, mus ic has remained a constant throughline in Witt's life. A classically trai ned pianist who supported herself as a musician when she first moved to L A\, Witt has long integrated music into her creative identity\, through h er own songwriting and in many of the roles she has portrayed onscreen. B etween Heaven and Earth is Witt's 8th album. Tracked live over four days with vocals and instrumentation recorded simultaneously\, the album embra ces what Witt calls a \, "rdquo" -> visceral and eternal" energy\, one th at \, "rdquo" -> could never be replicated." Guided by Henry's vision and the chemistry of the musicians in the room\, the songs were channeled in stinctively\, with minimal overdubs and an openness to what Witt repeated ly refers to as \, "rdquo" -> that place" --- the transcendent emotional state she connects to through Transcendental Meditation\, prayer\, creati vity\, and Lynch's work itself. The songs on Between Heaven and Earth exp lore themes of longing\, fate\, healing\, surrender\, nostalgia\, gratitu de\, and connection through what Witt describes as a lens of \, "rdquo" - > insistent optimism." The title track embraces \, "rdquo" -> a mystical new connection\," rooted in faith that \, "rdquo" -> it does no harm to d ream". On \, "rdquo" -> Artifacts\," Witt examines \, "rdquo" -> releasin g ancient lessons that no longer serve"\; \, "rdquo" -> Kindred" channels \, "rdquo" -> barriers evaporating in a fabric of light and destiny\," w hile \, "rdquo" -> Build Me A Dream" reflects on \, "rdquo" -> constructi ng the reality we wish to exist in". Elsewhere\, songs like \, "rdquo" -> Freeze Frame\," \, "rdquo" -> Test Drive\," and \, "rdquo" -> Blue Moon" meditate on alternate timelines and the peaceful acceptance of connectio ns that were not meant to remain. \, "rdquo" -> Thank You\," a duet with John Paul White\, transforms heartbreak into gratitude. On \, "rdquo" -> Love Anyway\," Witt sings about unconditional love that remains even when unreturned. Closing the album is \, "rdquo" -> The Director\," a track W itt describes as \, "rdquo" -> communication with David"\, \, "rdquo" -> a collection of his words to me since he passed away."\n\nA gig worth sho wing up for.\n\nhttps://www.ticketmaster.com/event/Z7r9jZ1A7Pf0Y\n\nhttps ://placetobe.cc/place/alicia-witt--4b996c11-850b-4c98-b14a-4b6aede04715?u tm_source=feed&utm_medium=syndication&utm_campaign=calendar-evanston URL:https://placetobe.cc/place/alicia-witt--4b996c11-850b-4c98-b14a-4b6aed e04715?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=syndication&utm_campaign=calendar-evans ton CATEGORIES:MUSIC END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:place-a02d1b26-d911-445a-b936-e2febf6f6d9b@placetobe DTSTAMP:20260920T044802Z DTSTART:20261021T003000Z DTEND:20261021T033000Z SUMMARY:An Evening With Richard Shindell - All Acoustic LOCATION:SPACE\, 1245 Chicago Avenue\, Evanston DESCRIPTION:Originally from New York\, now living in Buenos Aires\, Argent ina\, Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures\, tell stories\, ju xtapose ideas and images\, inhabit characters\, vividly evoking entire wo rlds along the way and expanding our sense of just what it is a song may be.
