The ROOFTOP Summer Music Series at the Museum

Featuring M&R RUSH on Thursday, July 16th!

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, July 16th featuring Chicagoland’s own, M&R RUSH bring their 2015 Ready...Set...Rock Tour! to the Rooftop playing their own hits and other classic rockers from Styx, Led Zeppelin, Foreigner and more!

M&R Rush had its beginnings in the early 70’s, when a group of five high school friends from Chicago’s Roseland neighborhood had a dream of making it in the music business. In 1980, “The Loop” radio in Chicago chose M&R Rush to be on their first hometown album, and the song “Rock & Roll Chicago”, written and performed by M&R Rush, became the most requested song off the album. Recently reunited for special tours, M&R Rush has shared the stage with Styx, Survivor, Sammy Hagar, Judas Priest, Black Oak Arkansas, Head East and others. A don‘t miss show!
