8-9:30P | Sons of the Silent Age - The Sound and Vision of David Bowie
A Chicago based ensemble led by disparate veterans Chris Connelly and Matt Walker devoted to keeping alive the wondrous soul and spark of David Bowie.6-7:15P | BiG SUiT: A Tribute to Talking Heads
BiG SUiT is a collective of nine musicians drawn to the cerebral adventures, infectious rhythms, and pioneering music known to the world as Talking Heads. BIG SUiT began when a Chicago-area producer reached out to Deacon Blues founder Steve Kikoen with a request to form a Tribute to Talking Heads.With enormous respect and admiration for David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Franz, and Jerry Harrison, the idea of forming a tribute to these musical innovators was intriguing. Steve proceeded to put together what has ultimately become an amazing replication of Talking Heads.
