The Promenade’s ever popular Free Main Street Summer Concert Series presents Howard & the White Boys on Thursday, August 2nd. The members of Howard & the White Boys first met at Northern Illinois University in Dekalb in 1988 and began jamming together just for fun. But their fast-growing popularity soon convinced them they could make a career of it. After only a few months, they got their first big break by opening for B.B. King. The band soon made the move to Chicago and began performing with the biggest names in blues: Koko Taylor, Albert King, Junior Wells, Lonnie Brooks, Luther Allison, Bo Diddley, and Chuck Berry. The remaining 2012 line up is as follows:
August 9, 2012 -- TNT (Big Band rock)
August 16, 2012 -- Hey Jimmy! (Dance & Modern Rock)
