The great, FREE, lunchtime in Millennium Park concert series has been announced here. Can't say this lineup is as good as last year, but there are a few gems. I'm especially geeked for my personal favorite band High Places. It'll be super interesting to see how they translate in a vast open space.

Bear in Heaven's sophomore effort is a surprising masterpiece, only hinted at by the well-traveled single "You Do You," somehow combining of-the-moment effusive indie synth and heavy-ish prog rock.

This Weekend In Shows (TWIS) & New Shows
