Tiki Night on The Lakely Patio
2019-06-25 19:00 - 23:00 (America/Chicago)
Join us on The Lakely Patio for Tiki Night – an evening of island-themed drinks, music, decor and fun!
“I always say, Tiki drinks are a vacation in a glass. That’s a huge part of why I love to make them and is the backbone of my ideology to mixology. I don’t just want to make amazing cocktails. I want to evoke feeling out of every sip.” – Miles, The Lakely’s Tiki Master
Modern Tiki culture originated in the early 1930’s and was further amplified after WWII when thousands of US soldiers, having experienced Polynesian culture first hand, came back after the war. It’s a longing for relaxed vibes, good times, and a way to escape the 9-5 grind of the week that’s idealized in a lot of Hawaiian, Polynesian, and Oceanic culture. As it gained in popularity, more influences from the Caribbean and around the world were blended into the theme. When you walk into an amazing Tiki bar you are instantly transported to another realm. The decor, ambiance, and music bring you to an island afar. The potent drinks help to melt time away. You slip into the moment, and even if it’s only for a brief evening, the tropical respite was a memory to hold onto to get you through the next week.

Ask anyone about the new generation of social justice music-makers and they’ll mention either Heather Mae or Crys Matthews. Mae, a powerhouse performer and earthshaking vocalist, has turned her personal struggle with mental health and body image into an empowering message of self-love, a universal light force that shines for every audience member. Matthews is a powerful lyricist whose songs of compassionate dissent reflect her lived experience as what she lightheartedly calls “the poster-child for intersectionality”. These two singer-songwriters have joined forces with JJ Jones (Girlyman) and Joe Stevens (Coyote Grace) for The Singing OUT Tour.
Doors: 7:30 p.m. // Show: 8:00 p.m.

Gallery Show: Ohmme and Ben Lester
2019-05-24 20:00 - 22:00
Already celebrated as the “Heart of Chicago’s Music Community” (Noisey) by both fans and tastemakers alike, OHMME (aka the duo of Sima Cunningham and Macie Stewart) amalgamate the aggressive and the meditative on their bold debut full-length album, Parts.
Still in their 20s, Stewart and Cunningham are both classically trained musicians and are established players within the Chicago music scene. They are especially involved in performing and working for venues within the local experimental music scene. They’re constant collaborators and have recorded and toured with homegrown acts as varied as Tweedy, Whitney, Chance The Rapper and Twin Peaks.
Cunningham and Stewart are multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriters with a penchant for two instruments in particular. “The band started because we knew we could sing well together and we wanted to make some noise with the guitar,” says Cunningham. Stewart elaborates, “Sima and I are both trained classical pianists and we know many of the sonic spaces keyboards have to offer. Since we were interested in experimenting and creating something different from what we had both done in the past, we chose guitar as our outlet for this band. We wanted to create both new and uncomfortable parameters for ourselves to force us into a different creative space.” These guitar-heavy experiments are sometimes earthy and resounding, at other times shimmering and buzzing—swirling around the duo’s expertly crafted vocals while creating a chaotic bed of harmony. Cunningham’s smoky alto complements Stewart’s higher-register croon, all underpinned by the restrained yet highly inventive polyrhythmic percussion of drummer Matt Carroll. Think Amber Coffman and Angel Deradoorian-era Dirty Projectors.
Doors: 7:30 p.m. // Show: 8:00 p.m.
Opening Music: Ben Lester
