This summer season has over 500 free shows playing in the Millenium Park. The Music Without Borders series begins this Wednesday, Jun 3, at 6:30 pm. This show will feature Dulsori, the South Korean percussion sensation. Should be a good show. I love hanging out at the park after finishing my roofing work. It’s cool just sitting and watching all the people checking out our great city.
Dancing in the street with one of Chicago’s finest jazz clarinetists: Kaliq Woods
One of my favorite Chicago street musicians is Kaliq Woods and his Kaliceo Band. I caught Kaliq playing solo out in front of the Wrigley building today. People were having a blast, dancing and enjoying the sounds of Chicago Jazz. I have included one of Kaliq’s YouTube videos and his contact information if you want to order his CD, or book the band for your private party. If you come to Chicago, you can often catch the band playing on Michigan Avenue on Saturdays. Today’s Chicago photos…
“Kaliceo has been together since July of 2001. The band consist of a clarinetist (Kaliq Woods), a pianist (Cheiko), a bassist (Matt Ulery), and a drummer (Frank Rosely). The quartet has played at the 57th street Yacht Club, the Velvet Lounge, and various other events. We forsee a blessed music career.”
