Bill Camplin Band livestream @ 8:30 p.m.
Since the early ‘70s Bill Camplin has dedicated himself to songwriting. Like many of his generation the shadow of Dylan looms large, but Camplin’s own material possesses sufficient gravitas to justify the stamp as his own. His dry-witted banter between songs shows listeners he is paying attention too.
Stream: Linneman's Riverwest Inn website

Smoke ‘N Mirrors @ Centraal Chill in the Courtyard, 5 p.m.
Smoke ‘N Mirrors “Boo Boo Boogaloo” is the kind of song to hear first thing in the morning or, in safer times, to kick off a set to fill a dancefloor. The jazz trio of Gabriel Hammer (keyboards), Sam Kacala (percussion), and Pete Geraci (saxophone), released the groove-heavy album Wolf Party last August. The socially distanced show takes place on Centraal Grand Café & Tappery’s newly expanded outdoor patio.
