FREEPORT - Smooth sounds and mellow tones will glide down the streets of the downtown on Friday, July 11, as Music on Chicago celebrates Blues Night. Cash Box Kings and Reverend Raven & the Chain Smokin' Altar Boys will be the featured bands as the 2008 Music On Chicago series continues its second Friday of the month music event; the series runs through September.
Cash Box Kings showcases the music of Chess Records and Sun Records luminaries such as Little Walter, Muddy Waters, the Howlin' Wolf, and Big Walter Horton as well as lesser known artists such as Robert Nighthawk, Eddie Taylor, and Luther Huff. The Cash Box Kings also delve into the Mississippi Delta sounds of blues men like Charley Patton, Son House, Fred McDowell and R.L. Burnside. The group rounds off their musical offerings with a healthy dose of original music that captures the essence of the Memphis and Chicago blues sounds of the 40s and 50s. They will be opening at 6 p.m.
Music On Chicago is sponsored by the Freeport Downtown Development Foundation. Tickets for the event are $3 per person. The event is open to adults 21 and older. Located on Chicago Avenue between Stephenson and Main, the gates open at 5:30 p.m. For more information about Music On Chicago, call (815) 232-9000.
