Contest: Win Tickets To See Marco Benevento & Mike Dillon @ Martyr's on Saturday, September 22nd

Thanks to the great folks at Martyr's, we're able to offer more tickets to another top shelf Chicago show. Two bands worthy of a night out together on one bill -- and we've gone a bit Marco crazy over here after hearing a preview of his latest release, TigerFace, and getting a chance to talk...

Putting On A TigerFace: The Barn's Marco Benevento Interview

TigerFace. It's not an image I often think of, but in the context of the music of Marco Benevento, its easy to make some quick associations. The head of the beast. Large, majestic, iconic, dangerous. Yes, Marco's music is all of those things; well, maybe not so dangerous... but there's certainly enough risk taking contained...

Setlist, Stream, Download: Wilco @ AV Club Festival /Hideout Block Party, Chicago, IL 9/15/12

Trey Anastastio Hits Road In Fall, Chicago Theater On 10/19/12 [Fall 2012 Lineup Revealed]

Update 9/20 with band lineupIt certainly seemed like TAB was going to make a habit of hitting Chicago's Riveria Theater in February. After two wildly successful and stylistically diverse shows in 2010 and 2011, we were let down when a winter tour wasn't routed through here in 2012 -- and even more disappointed when Phish avoided Chicago during this...

Not Your Average Dead Cover Band: Tributosaurus @ Martyrs 9/14 & 9/15

I don't have evidence, but I'd venture to guess that the Grateful Dead have more tribute bands dedicated to recreating their sound than any other performers. That's not stopping Chicago tribute juggernaut Tributosaurus -- a band typically renown for their spot-on reproductions of the studio work of a host of classic rockers -- from tackling...
