2 312.742.1168 • millenniumpark.org welcome to Millennium Park

dear friends,

Millennium Park has garnered attention all over the world as one of Chicago’s greatest jewels. From the impressive Frank Gehry-designed Jay Pritzker Pavilion to the artistic wonders that include Cloud Gate, aff ectionately known as “the Bean,” the Park is a year round attraction. But never more so than in the summer, when free musical entertainment, family-friendly activities, annual festivals and diff erent tours off er non-stop enjoyment.

This summer two new exhibits ﬁ ll Lurie Garden and Chase Promenade, featuring work by French artist Jean-Luc Mylayne and talented local and international architects. A summer ﬁ lm series will screen at the Pritzker Pavilion – and the Chicago Gospel Music Festival, Chicago Jazz Festival and World Music Festival Chicago will all take place there, representing the wide interests and cultures of our vibrant city.

Returning this summer are the city’s free concert series in the Park: Downtown Sound – adding six nights to showcase more contemporary, electronic and world music artists – and Made in Chicago: World Class Jazz. Visitors and residents will continue to enjoy a great summer tradition, the Grant Park Music Festival – bringing free classical music to Chicago’s lakefront. Additionally, and most importantly, kids of all ages will have fun all summer long at the Family Fun Festival.

On behalf of the City of Chicago, I encourage you to plan a visit to Millennium Park this summer. With programs oﬀ ering something for every member of the family, you won’t want to miss it.

Sincerely,

Mayor Rahm Emanuel

Playing rock clubs and honky tonks, Bonnaroo, Stones Fest, SXSW and NXNE, he and his band, the Gulf Coast Orchestra, merge a truculent singer/songwriter take that combines Ray Wylie Hubband’s lean freewheeling squalor with Todd Snider’s brazen Gen Y reality.

The vinyl version of their latest album, Everybody’s Got a Star, will be available for the fi rst time at Downtown Sound. Caroline Smith (carolinesmithcarolinesmith.com) earned her place in the Midwest music community with her characteristic alto timbre, quivering with the presence of Billie Holiday, Leslie Feist and Joanna Newsom.

Ade launched his own record label in 1974 and has released more than 100 of his own recordings in Nigeria. This tour marks his ﬁ rst visit to North America in 7 years.

Judah & the Lion • JULY 9 • 8pm (NOTE START TIME) Judah & the Lion (judahandthelion.com) (Judah Akers, Nate Zuercher and Brian Macdonald) is a modern pop band with a feel as old as hills and holler. They are the happy sum of disparate parts, Southern grit, Midwestern (Chicago) openness, the exuberant freedom of the West, all brought together to make a truly joyful noise. The band has released two successful EPs, First Fruits and Sweet Tennessee. The latter blasted onto the Billboard charts, hitting the Top 20 in a variety of genres, and “Sweet Tennessee” made it to #1 on the iTunes “Singer/Songwriter” chart.

Matthew Sweet + In Tall Buildings • JULY 13 Matthew Sweet After spending the ’80s as an unappreciated jangle pop guitarist and solo artist with albums released on Columbia and A&M Records, Matthew Sweet (matthewsweet.com) emerged in 1991 as the leading ﬁ gure of the American power pop revival. Sweet made his most recent record, Modern Art (2011), with Velvet Crush founder Ric Menck on drums and Dennis Taylor on guitar. Erik Hall worked patiently and solitarily for four years to craft Driver, his sophomore album as In Tall Buildings (intallbuildings.com), produced between his home studio in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood and a ’60s farmhouse in Leelanau County, Mich. His music is powerful in its restrained simplicity.

Ondatrópica + Helado Negro • JULY 16 Colombian musician Mario Galeano, the force behind the band Frente Cumbiero, and English producer Will Holland (aka Quantic) have joined forces to create the Ondatrópica project (ondatropica.com) – supported by the British Council to explore and expand the tropical sound of Colombia in its rawest form, and to marry it with the cool sound of London.

Helado Negro presents a new shivers-down-the spine concert experience, with costuming and movement developed during his recent 42 city tour.

Murder by Death + Banditos • JULY 20 – “Bloodshot Record Night” On the surface, Murder By Death (murderbydeath.com) is a Bloomington, Ind. quintet with a wry, ominous name. But behind the geography and moniker is a band of Murder by Death meticulous and literary songwriters matched by a speciﬁ c brand of brooding, anthem- riding balladry and orchestral indie rock. Their latest release, Big Dark Love, is the band’s seventh full-length album. Originally from Birmingham, Ala., Banditos (banditosband. com) is a group – more like a gang, actually – of six twentysomethings, operating out of Nashville. Their self-titled debut album bodaciously appropriates elements of ’60s blues-fused acid rock, ZZ Top’s jangly boogie, garage punk scuzz à la Burger Records and more.

Los Cojolites + David Wax Museum • JULY 23 Los Cojolites (facebook.com/loscojolites) was born in 1995 as part of a project dedicated to recover artistic expressions of indigenous people in the ancient town of Cosoleacaque, Veracruz, Mexico. In December 2014, they presented their fourth production, Zapateando, which includes traditional sones. David Wax and Suz Slezak form the artistic core of the David Wax Museum (davidwaxmuseum.com) and together fuse traditional Mexican folk with American roots and indie rock to create a Mexo-Americana aesthetic. They have built a reputation among concertgoers for “kicking up a cloud of excitement with their high-energy border-crossing sensibility” (The New Yorker).
