6/20 - Lee St Beach

Join North Shore Vibe for an Evanston beach cleanup at South Boulevard beach. North Shore Vibe is working to remove 20,000 pieces of trash from our beloved shoreline during 2021 and we would love to partner with you in that effort. We will provide the supplies for the cleanup and look forward to meeting you in person.

Sally Timms and Jon Langford are members of the legendary British punk band the mekons who relocated to the Midwest in the early 90s where they have continued to indulge in artistic experimentation and various hedonistic pursuits.

Please note that due to Covid, we're selling tables instead of individual seats. So grab some pals and create your pod!

Pre-order your Wine Goddess cheese board and/or charcuterie board for snacks during the show--and book a table at Trattoria DOC for after the concert: 847-475-9111 (they'll be the only Custer Oasis restaurant open for service after the "Sundays at The Oasis" Live Music sessions).
