The Chicago Roots Collective will be bringing it’s 3rd annual Chicago Roots Collective Festival to the Elbo Room this weekend, with two nights of incredible local talent.
Friday & Saturday, the Elbo Room will be host to more than 25 bands and musicians playing on both floors of the venue. The downstairs stage will feature full bands, while acoustic performances will take place upstairs. 25% of the proceeds from the festival will go to the Old Town School of Folk Music.
Headlining the full band stage will be Molehill on Friday, and The Local Strangers on Saturday.
Check out the full show details and the complete roster of bands for the weekend below.
The 21+ festival will be at the Elbo Room (2871 N Lincoln), and goes from 8 PM – 1 AM each night.
Space is limited, so pick up your tickets in advance through the Elbo Room’s website. Tickets will run you $10 a night, or just $15 for a weekend pass.
