From the founder of Celebrate Highwood’s ever popular Nashwood and Great Highwood Pumpkin Fest comes 28 Mile Distilling’s Rock the Rails. This first-of-its-kind music showcase celebrates the connection between independent artists and independent venues along the Metra rail line from Chicago to Kenosha; bringing you intimate performances and exclusive artist access. 28 Mile, located just steps from the Highwood train station, will feature incredible talent from across the country. From rising artists on the verge of breaking out to nationally recognized performers like Jimmie Allen, Mims, Bubba Sparxxx, and Michael Winslow, the initial Rock the Rails Music Series kicks off June 12 through the end of summer, every Friday night at 8 PM, with shows ending before the last train departs.
The concept of Rock the Rails is built around original artists, authentic performances, and songs that connect audiences. 28 Mile Distilling Co. will serve as a first stop “along the rails” for artists on larger tours craving intimacy along the way that larger venues just don’t provide. From country and rock to hip-hop and high-energy entertainment, every Friday night will deliver a one-of-a-kind experience just steps from the Metra line at 28 Mile Distilling Co.
