Living in Chicago definitely has it's perks when it comes to live music. On any given night, you can see a show covering just about every genre of music.
Blues Fest, Jazz Fest, SummerDance, Music Without Borders, and Downtown Sound are all programs put on by the city that are FREE. It's hard to beat sitting in Grant Park on a nice June night listening to some of the best blues in the world.
Chicago is feeling the economical crunch and with that our free music programs are being threatened. The Chicago City Council is putting together it's budget for next year and the city's music, arts, and other cultural programs are facing budget cuts. Friends of Chicago Music have put together a petition online to support these wonderful programs. Click here to sign the petition.
Please help keep these wonderful programs free for everyone!

I am very excited to check out this new venue. I am a big fan of Schubas and the pictures they have released of the space look really cool. They have some great shows announced and I am sure with many more to follow.
Check out their website, which has information on the venue and upcoming shows.
Schubas has put the finishing touches on its new
venture, Lincoln Hall, a mid-sized concert venue at
2424 N. Lincoln Avenue. Five years after brothers
Chris and Mike Schuba first conceived the idea of
opening a new venue, and a little over a year after
purchasing the former location of the Three Penny
Cinema, the gutting and eventual transformation
into a contemporary-feeling venue is complete.
The space features a wrap-around mezzanine in the
Music Hall, plus a front bar and restaurant, and
additional bars upstairs and down in the Music Hall.
Lincoln Hall will serve as an extension to Schubas’
music programming, which has helped to cultivate
some of today’s most successful musical acts
including Feist, My Morning Jacket and The Shins.
Lincoln Hall will follow Schubas' lead and
feature some of Chicago’s best live sound and sight
lines, ensuring that bands and customers alike can
expect the same great Schubas hospitality in
another comfortable environment.
