Siegel-Schwall Brings the Blues to Oakton
Enjoy an evening of contemporary blues with the Siegel-Schwall Band, 7:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 3, at Oakton Community College, 7701 N. Lincoln Ave., Skokie.
One of Chicago's most popular live acts of the 1970s, Siegel-Schwall Band brings its unique fusion of acoustic and urban blues to Oakton's Acorn Room. Prior to the concert, at 6:30 p.m., Corky Siegel and Jim Schwall will host a conversation, "A History of Chicago Blues in Our Times," examining the music of Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, and other legends.
Siegel and Schwall met in 1964 as members of the Roosevelt University Jazz Band. Later joined by bassist Rollo Radford and drummer Sam Lay, the Siegel-Schwall Band released 10 albums and toured with rock legends Janis Joplin and Jefferson Airplane, among others.
Sponsored by Oakton's Emeritus Program and in part by the Illinois Art Council, tickets for the lecture and concert are $28.
