BABY it's ALRIGHT

It's a Monday. What better way to lighten your day than to go to Sonotheque at 1444 W. Chicago (in Chicago--not Evanston!) to see The Boogie Band, featuring BABY ALRIGHT-- an Evanston Starlight Concert Series performer.

You can count on these local Chicago talents to be there for you every Monday at 10 pm for $3, 21 and over. Performing mostly blues, soul and R&B covers, BABY ALRIGHT is comprised of some of Chicago's most renowned musicians. Marvin Tate (as band leader/lead vocalist Bobby Albright) has been a featured poet on NPR, produced his own TV show entitled "Talk-a-Rioty" and is an accomplished writer and snowglobe-maker(a Renaissance man!). He best known for Marvin Tate's D-Settlement, an explosive, stylistically diverse band that "paints life in immobilizing truths of joy and pain, challenging the conscious and subconscious, hovering between today's avante garde and yesterday's vaudevillian theatre -- eleven to thirteen musician's musicians with souls set to take you higher." -Jodi Behrens, sobs.org. Leroy Bach on guitar & vocals (formerly of Wilco & 5ive Style, now plays with Emmett Kelly in Cairo Gang), Dan Bitney (Tortoise & Isotope 217) on drums, Emmett Kelly (Cairo Gang, Prophet 5) on guitar and vocals, Matthew Lux (Isotope 217) on bass. WOW!!! (sincere).


Then on July 8th, go to your very own Twiggs Park at 7:30 pm to see BABY ALRIGHT rock out on an Evanston stage (for all ages) as a part of the Starlight Concert Series and enjoy this all-star band on a nice summer evening.
