Hey, i’m glad i got to see you guys…it’s a Bluegrass desert up here on the Northshore! Come up this way more often..plenty of suburban festivals and venues in our neck of the woods!
@@badhandchicago Here's a few places in my neck of the woods.... Hackney's on Lake (bands play in the basement) and the micro brew place next door (more of an outdoor venue) in Glenview, Whiskey River, Glenview, Space in Evanston, The Toadstool in Highwood (stage in back under a tent), Teddy O'Brians (outdoor beer garden), Highwood, 28 Mile Distilling Co, Highwood,. Also, i heard about some Bluegrassers who play at the American Legion at the Canal Shores Golf Course in Evanston. I've never actually seen them play, so i'm not sure if they just jam, or people come to see them... But i have been in the place for another event and it's a nice space... As for festivals around here... First and foremost, contact Val at Valslist for the Winnetka Music Festival...and check out the festival's website... It's mostly a roots/Americana-oriented festival that specializes in emerging artists....and the biggest festival between Chicago and Summerfest... There are national act who've played there...Neal Francis, BILLY STRINGS (saw him in 2018 before he was known to the masses--epic show, man!!), The Waydown Wanderers, Madison Cunningham etc... But she also books smaller local bands... Hey, ya never know!! ANOTHER great festival is Nashwood in Highwood. It occurs in Sept. While they advertise there are Bluegrass bands in the festival, i have yet to see an actual Bluegrass band....this year, there were 1 or 2 bands that dabbled in it, but were mostly Country... Since you already played the Pumpkin Fest, you could have a better chance getting booked for Nashwood... Other local north suburban festivals worth looking into are: The Backlot Bash in Skokie, Northfield Ribfest, Wilmette Block party, and I forget the names, but Glenview and Northbrook have their annual festivals. Last year, Cracker played in Glenview, and Tributasuarus (did the Stones) in Wilmette. And Mr. Blotto makes their rounds at some of these festivals. And finally, the summer evening concert series... My favorite ones around here (past and present) are in Evanston, Chicago Botanic Gardens (Glencoe), Independence Grove (Libertyville), The Glen (Glenview) and Plaza Del Lago (Wilmette)... And FWIW, Ravinia recently built a small stage/gazebo out in the lawn for smaller acts... It still might be too big for you guys, but it might be worth looking into anyway just for the helluvit.... Good luck and hopefully we see you up Nort!
