ROOFTOP Summer Music Series at the Joliet Museum

Featuring the South Side Exiles on Thursday, May 19th at the Joliet Museum's Outdoor Rooftop venue!

This summer, a different live performance is featured each month on the Joliet Area Historical Museum’s scenic Outdoor Rooftop Terrace. Doors open at 6:45 pm, and shows start at 7:30 pm. Beverages (Soda, beer, wine, water) available for purchase (coffee & snacks are free). Only $8.00 for Museum members & Students with valid I.D. or $10 for General Public! In case of inclement weather, shows will be held in the Museum’s Indoor Auditorium.

Our next concert is on Thursday, May 19th featuring the Chicago rock crew known as the South Side Exiles.

South Side Exiles play original songs written and performed in the classic American style of the 1970s rock tradition, and their debut LP stands as proof that the old sound is just as charged and solid as it ever was. South Side Exiles cite main artistic influences as the Beatles, Chuck Berry, Rolling Stones, the Faces, Humble Pie, Lou Reed, Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Joe Strummer.

The SSE sound was developed over decades of playing on Chicago’s famous Archer Avenue. SSE Mantra “Don’t look back. Only rock and roll can save you now.” SouthSideExiles are Eddie Gribb on drums, Greg Nawrocki on guitar & vocals, Nick Gribb on bass guitar, Bob Raudys on Keys.
