Chicago Bluegrass & Blues PRE-Festival Events (Next Stop: The Hideout 8/21)
The Chicago Bluegrass & Blues festival continues its series of Pre-Festival events with a stop at our favorite Chicago venue. Full of influential musicians and the ambiance of your grandma’s basement (in a good way, trust me), the Hideout will host the CD Release party of Majors Junction. The Chicago alt-country staples will be supported by two impresarios of the city’s bluegrass and country scenes, Tangleweed and The Lawrence Peters Outfit.
