Hogeye Music (the store) and Hogeye Folk Arts, Ltd. (us) are the love children of Evanston's Joan and Tyler Wilson, started in 1978 in partnership with Anne Hills and Jan Burda. Joan died last December. She was a driving force behind Hogeye Folk Arts for more than 20 years ... and to honor her memory, Tyler has arranged for a joyful and music-filled remembrance of his loving wife and partner. It's what Joan would have wanted.
Please join us for an evening-long celebration featuring many of the folk performers who have graced the Hogeye stage, and some who have not ... but each one with rich stories to share of the woman who was, in many ways, their patron and muse. Consider bringing a plate of cookies to share; we'll brew coffee and tea.
Artists who will be performing March 24th are: Dave Bowen, Shinobu Sato, Jim & Vivian Craig, Fred Campeau & Mitch Thomas, Josh Huppert, Kurt Bjorling, Mathew Wilson & Al Ehrich, Stephen Wade, Ed Holstein, Mark Sahlgren & Darcy Wilkin, Dave Prine & Tyler Wilson, Jan Burda & Friends, Anne Hills, and John Prine. This will be a night to remember in so many ways. Prepare to come early and stay late.
The date is Saturday, March 24, at 7:00 p.m; doors open at 6:00 p.m. The location is the Nichols Concert Hall in Evanston, 1490 Chicago Ave., adjacent to the Lake Street Church at Chicago Avenue and Grove Street. Admission is free, but if you would like to make a contribution to The Alzheimer's Association, Greater Illinois Chapter, information will be available at the door.
Joan, we miss you. Hear our voices on 3/24.
$15 general admission, $13 seniors, $5 students with ID, free kids 12 and under. HFA member discount is $1 off the price of each general or senior admission paid. Admission may be paid at the door in cash or by check.
We've signed up with Brown Paper Tickets so you can now purchase "tickets" in advance for our concerts. Right now, only general admission tickets are available (but if you're a member or a senior, we will rebate the difference at the door). And there are no actual brown paper tickets - just a list of who has ordered tickets.
What does it cost? Aye, there's the rub. There's no such thing as a free lunch! But Brown Paper Tickets charges only $1.52 a ticket and you can charge with Discover, MasterCard, or Visa. You can buy tickets until about 7:30 AM on the day of the concert. And don't forget: your kids 12 and under are free!
The Lake Street Church is at the northwest corner of Lake Street and Chicago Avenue (map). Enter through the courtyard on Chicago Avenue.
Outside the core business district, parking meters are enforced from 9am to 6pm, Mondays through Saturdays and are free on Sundays and holidays (meters).
Violations cost $10.00. If you're planning on eating dinner nearby and then feeding the meter, be advised that they chalk tires to make sure you don't stay longer than two hours.
