Didn't see this one posted yet and needed to make sure street fest completist and near north suburb enthusiast Pale Hose is in the know. I know he's no stranger to the mean streets of Winnetka.

uhh thats weirdly pretty good, especially for a free festival in winnetka?
If some majority combination of A Thousand Horses, Billy Strings, Low Cut Connie, Seratones and Motopony are on the same day thats worth the trek north.

Are people from Winnetka/Glencoe etc gonna show up to that? I can't see city folk taking the Metra up for that but maybe I'm wrong. I also don't think Winnetka wants people from the city showing up to that. Are you sure it's okay to post that in here?

We’re gonna get a border wall proposal from Winnetka the second rango steps off the train.

Winnetka is a weird mix of old money and new money so this actually seems on brand to me. It's totally free so I don't think they actually care if anyone else shows up.

Do you mean 'on' like when you put blame or fault on someone? Because yes that lineup is on Long Island.

Those lineups can stay in Winnetka and Long Island, respectively

Billy Strings is the hottest name in progressive bluegrass and i imagine progressive bluegrass is very popular with old hippies and college professors in Evanston which if I understand is just south of Winnetka.

progressive bluegrass is the new bluegrass where all of the sudden they are a metal band or a punk band or whatever vs. modern traditional bluegrass where its 7 adults pretending they live in a boxcar

Winnetka Music Fest is kind of the Primavera of alt-country street fairs. And ZZ Ward is the PJ Harvey of soccer mom brunch rock.

I went to last yr's version of the winnetka fest, and saw pop country blonde logan brill open for wild belle on the main stage, and folk jam band jared and the mill on a smaller stage. would like to see 1000 horses this yr there.

Why go to Winnetka? Just go to Lolla where Winnetka comes to you.

I got him REALLY into going to shows again so I’m wondering if I could convince him to do a fest
