Minor Moon News Today

Minor Moon's LP is deeply adventurous but has a sharp, reflective eye on the rearview mirror. It's a warm fuzz of country rock amidst a world falling apart.

The new album from Minor Moon, a Chicago-based alt country/rock band, comes amid a period of personal stability for the band’s mastermind, Sam Cantor. “The Light Up Waltz,” released April 12 by Ruination Record Co., balances the positives in his life while also examining what’s happening in the outside world.

The Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival, a play starring Dana Delaney and a ‘Ted Lasso’ star’s comedy shows are among the entertainment highlights of the week ahead.

Today’s update is a 5-minute read that will brief you on the day’s biggest stories.

Now it in its 6th year, returning after COVID stalled it in 2020 and diverting to a smaller footprint in 2021, the Winnetka Music Festival makes a full return in the downtown Elm Street district.

Check out photos from opening weekend and make your plans for the remaining shows.

Recently announced acts include Half Gringa, Andrew Sa, Ness Heads, and perennial Hideout favorites Jon Langford and His Fancymen.
