Hideout to bring Chicago rockers to D.C.
I love finding out from the trib…
The Hideout will bring a Chicago-style celebration of Barack Obama’s inauguration to Washington, D.C., on Jan. 19.
“The Big Shoulders Ball: Chicago Celebrates Change” will take place on inauguration eve at the Black Cat in the nation’s capital. Performers will include a Chicago-centric lineup of Tortoise, the Waco Brothers, Eleventh Dream Day, Andrew Bird, Jon Langford, Sally Timms, David “Honeyboy” Edwards, Ken Vandermark, Freakwater, Icy Demons and Judson Claiborne. The celebration is a collaboration between the club and Interchange, a volunteer group that promotes political participation through the arts.
Tickets ($50) are on sale via blackcatdc.com or at the Hideout, 1354 W. Wabansia Ave. Two buses will be chartered to transport performers, staff and patrons to the event.
