The Great Lawn

During the most patriotic of months, it makes sense to celebrate homegrown music. Folk rock and Americana artists get their own summer bash in the form of the Great Lawn, which sets up a stage on the outskirts of UIC campus in July. Folk rockers Houndmouth headline on Saturday, while Greensky Bluegrass turns in two sets on Sunday evening. The remainder of the lineup features folk duo Shovels and Rope, indie rockers Dr. Dog and Todd Snider's blues rock super group Hard Working Americans.
