A Rock 'n' Roll Christmas
Chicago's finest rock radio station is holding its annual holiday show at The Chicago Theatre and this year the line-up boasts one of the genre's most firmly established artists and one of its finest newcomers. Headlining is Counting Crows, with Jake Bugg in the support slot.
Hailing from Berkeley, California, Counting Crows have become one of America's most recognisable alternative rock bands, with the soulful vocals of front man Adam Duritz fronting such hits as Mr Jones, Colorblind and Accidentally In Love. Their latest release was this year's Somewhere Under Wonderland, which was met with acclaim from critics, who branded it their best collection of tracks since their 1993 debut.
Jake Bugg is the young English musician that started making waves aged just 17 with the release of his Nick Drake, Donovan and Beatles inspired eponymous album in 2012. A multi-instrumentalist and easily one of the most impressive new acts on the scene, he makes for a terrific opening act.
