"Stars of Tomorrow" To Rock Fosco Park
Trace, The Pop Tots, Six In The Mix, Fatal Attraction, Red Hard Stones/Dangerous Rock Stars, Five Star Kids, Soul Children, The Scorps, The Davis Square Park Community Band, Rockin' Wit Swag, The Jammin 4...You might not know these band names quite yet, but in ten years or so, you just might.
Intonation Music Workshop is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing music instruction and performance opportunities to kids age 6-17 in Chicago's underserved communities, and tomorrow at their "Stars of Tomorrow Rock and Soul Music Fest" you can see performances from all of these young bands, and more. They've teamed up with the Chicago Park District and MusicianCorps Chicago to present this festival by kids and for kids. In addition to live music, there will be an instrument petting zoo (don't ask me what that is, but it's definitely something I want to see) and a decorate-your-own album cover art activity. Best of all, the whole day-long event is free.
So pack up your kids (or your sister's kids, or your friend's kids) and head down to Fosco Park (1312 S. Racine). The fest runs from Noon to 4:30pm.
