King for a Monday
Mondays are difficult for live music venues. Going out on a Monday requires pacing because nobody wants to throw off their sleep schedule for an entire week right away. However, sometimes there's just a really strong pull to go out on a Monday and potentially lose some sleep in favor of having a great time. Bobby Conn is one of these pulls. His live shows are true performances filled with surprises. (The last show I saw featured absolutely scorching covers of Hot Chocolate's "Every 1's a Winner" and Sweet's "Action.") With a tight band comprised of musicians from a plethora of other Chicago acts, Bobby Conn's not just a gimmick either. His outlandish acts have by now been trumped by the fact that he's a savvy musician and songwriter. He's worth the late night out.
The Hideout hosts Bobby Conn for free at 9PM on Monday.
