Great Country Performers of Illinois

On Wednesday, September 6 at 6:30 p.m., Mr. Robbie Fulks will curate and/or host Great Country Performers of Illinois featuring Casey Driessen, Suzy Bogguss, Kelly Hogan, Scott Ligon, Chris Ligon, Kyle Lehning. Mr. Fulks' website describes it as "two hours of words and music."

I suspect that it'll be "two hours of worthwhile words and great music."

Update 01SEP06: Your Chicago Reader has more details on this free -- FREE -- Great Performers of Illinois series taking place from Wednesday through Saturday.

Although I am partial to the country acts, you can't beat the free performance by the legendary Queen of the Blues, Koko Taylor on Thursday night!
