Sunday!

The weekend wraps up with Cinco de Mayo featuring some great music event opportunities to enjoy in and around Chicago today and tonight… still working to catch up on a vacation week that yesterday featured Neil Young and Crazy Horse in the evening and Terence Blanchard’s E-Collective with the Turtle Island String Quartet in a 200 capacity club, back to a more normal cadence before long… read on for the details, and get out to enjoy one or more if you can… Thanks for reading, subscribing to, and especially sharing Jerome’s Event List!
