The second Weekend Run Club album, “Liminal Space Race,” finds the band hitting its stride and frontman Mitchell Kinn cementing his metaphorical and lyrical voice.

Mitchell and Xack (bass) join me for pizza slices from Lobo in Logan Square, and we talk about all the coming of age issues and trauma that fuel Mitchell’s art (and therapy sessions, as we learn).

See Weekend Run Club at Beat Kitchen on July 3!

The summer season at Ravinia is here… and there’s no place more comfortable to see outdoor shows.  

Load up your picnic basket and head to the show… or take advantage of some of Ravinia’s outstanding food options inside the park. 

Violent Femmes are set to do an album play of their debut album with the Chicago Philharmonic. It’s been hard for me to imagine stripped down songs like Gone Daddy Gone and Add It Up done with a classical collaboration. Get tickets and see the full schedule at ravinia.org.
