JENNY AND ROBIN BIENEMANN
VENUE: Grayslake Village Hall
TIME: 7:00 PM The husband and wife duo of Robin and Jenny Bienemann are both singer-songwriters and instrumentalists.
By turns hilarious and heartfelt, this cutting-edge acoustic duo melds original and traditional music with an elegant hint of jazz. Robin's wild guitar stylings harken back to the earliest forms of jazz, blues and country guitar. Jenny’s voice and guitar playing evokes comparisons to Joni Mitchell and Ricki Lee Jones. Both write songs that are celebrations of modern life in all of its wonderful, strange and hilarious beauty, garnering airplay on National Public Radio, Dr. Demento, and The Midnight Special. CONCERT OPENER:
TOM MCNAMEE Opening the evening will be Chicago reporter-turned-songwriter Tom McNamee, who likely will sing about crooked aldermen, his many years as a big-city journalist and his seven super sisters. Tapping a keyboard or fingerpicking a guitar, he’s essentially a storyteller. |
