More Love for Green Music Fest, nice write up by NewCity Summer!

The Chicago Green Music Fest (June 21 and 22, Damen and North) tends to fly under the radar of the other Wicker Park/Bucktown festivals, perhaps because it takes place in Ju...ne, before festival season truly hits its stride after the Fourth of July. But I suspect that it may be due to some misconceptions about the kind of festival it actually is. Admittedly, “Green Music Fest” evokes images of a jam band-and-kombucha kind of environment—which is fine, of course, if you’re into that, but not necessarily everyone’s scene. But being Wicker Park-based, the Green Music Fest lineup here is decidedly indie-rock focused, and the vibe is pretty urban. Compared to Wicker Park Fest, the crowds are manageable, if a bit young, and the food is pretty good too,especially if you’re veggie-inclined. This year, Guided By Voices, Bobby Bare Jr., Moon Taxi, and the Features headline the fest. But in keeping with the festival’s eco-friendly focus, this year introduces a third, bicycle-powered music stage, with stationary bikes providing the juice for the featured bands’ gear. - See more at: http://summer.newcity.com/2014/05/23/hitting-the-streets-a-romp-through-underrated-chicago-neighborhood-festivals/#sthash.eooxDM7n.dpuf Meer weergeven
