Jon Brion on New Year's Eve
New Year's Eve isn't exactly right around the corner (only 54 days until 2008! Can you believe it?) but it's never too early to start making plans. The good people at Intonation know this and have done all of us a huge favor by scheduling the legendary producer and musician, Jon Brion, to play not one but two sets in the Harris Theater at Millennium Park.
Known globally as a producer for Fiona Apple, Kanye West, and Rufus Wainwright, as well as the genius behind the soundtrack to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Brion has cultivated a reputation for playing stellar one-man shows at LA's Largo, building jaw-dropping and spontaneous compositions as he switches deftly from guitar to piano to drums. For this show, he will no doubt pull out all the stops and there's a better than average chance a few famous music friends will drop by for the festivities.
Tickets are $85 and include a full New Year's Eve Party with dancing, drinks and frivolity plus the two sets and that is a flat rate, with the house being sold from front to back, which means that if you purchase your tickets right when they go on sale on November 9th (this Friday), you may sit in the front row.
Tickets for this New Year's madness can be purchased at the Harris Theater Box Office (312-334-7777), or online at www.harristheaterchicago.org.
