Come out on Friday, June 10 at 7 pm to inaugurate the 22nd Season of free summer concerts in Ravenswood Manor Park, when Expo 76 brings its “A” game to rock our park!
Known throughout the area for their hard driving covers, this killer band will shake your tree as we get down and welcome the summer!
Expo ’76 is made up of four lifers who don’t need to be in another band, but still can’t quite help themselves. Their weakness is your gain, and on any given night you’ll hear them gleefully careening from ’70’s AM radio ear candy into walloping road house beer guzzling dance tunes. They’ll chime their way through a New Wave nugget with the same embrace that they slap around a swinging, jazzy blues number or a folk revival sing-along. Irrepressible, unstoppable, 100% unironic, and actually quite unbelievable at times, Expo ’76 won’t take your requests, because they’re already playing them. But you can still shout them out!
This concert is presented by the Horner Park Advisory Council, in partnership with the Chicago Park District. Thanks to the Ravenswood Manor Improvement Association for sponsoring this evening, along with our neighborhood subscribers and advertisers.
This kick-off concert is the first of our Summer Series. The next show will be Friday, June 24 at 7 pm in Ravenswood Manor Park when the Old Town School of Folk Music presents it’s Americana and Irish Ensembles.
Tax-deductible contributions to help support the Summer Concert Series and information on other Horner Park initiatives may also be found there.
