Beverages (Soda, beer, wine, water) available for purchase (coffee & snacks are free). Only $8.00 for Museum Members & Students 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, June 9th featuring Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials!

Mixing smoking slide guitar boogies and raw-boned Chicago shuffles with the deepest slow-burners, Lil’ Ed and his blistering Blues Imperials — bassist James “Pookie” Young, guitarist Mike Garrett and drummer Kelly Littleton — deliver the blues, from gloriously riotous and rollicking to intensely emotional and moving. With their latest album, Jump Start, Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials continue to bring their seriously inspired and wildly fun Chicago blues to “Ed Heads” new & old, wherever they may be.

One of Conan O'Brien's favorite bands, Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials bring "Raw-boned, old-fashioned Chicago blues to the masses and will blow the walls down"Guitar Player Magazine.
