6:00pm – ChickenFat Klezmer Orchestra is a Chicago-based klezmer band that brings a fun, energetic mix of traditional Jewish dance music and global folk influences. Formed in 2008 by klezmer-loving musicians who met through the Old Town School of Folk Music, the band blends klezmer with Balkan, Mediterranean, Sephardic, Israeli, and Yiddish theater songs, with material sung in Ladino, Yiddish, Hebrew, and Russian. It’s lively, festive, old-world party music with a big Chicago spirit.

7:00pm – Some Years Later is a Chicago rock band formed in 2005 by singer-songwriter Robert Patrick, along with guitarist Mike Pantazis and percussionist Robert Anthony, later joined by bassist Lee Casino. Their sound leans into melodic, guitar-driven original rock with classic-rock muscle, alternative edge, and big singalong hooks. Over the years, they’ve shared stages with acts including Kansas and Enuff Z’Nuff, bringing a seasoned Chicago bar-band energy built for loud rooms, strong choruses, and a crowd ready to rock.
