Chicago blues master Corky Siegel is feeling good and ready to jam with you — even if that’s via livestream
CHICAGO — Corky Siegel feels fine. “Terrific on all counts,” he says. “Just terrific.” That is good to hear and it is always good to talk to Siegel, a Chicago treasure and a man with a million stories from a lifetime filled with music. He is 77, near the same age as new White Sox manager Tony La Russa and a great many other people but, as ever, his voice is filled with youthful enthusiasm. And so it was that for a while last week, that Siegel was distracted from the details of an upcoming and innovative performance, which he intriguing calls “better than a live concert,” and pleasantly returne...

Facebook is getting into the rap scene. A new application is available to help budding rappers generate some buzz.

Chicago performers who fled to Mexico for opportunities continue to make a go of it as they await a revived local scene
A lot can happen in six months. Just ask Kice Akkawi, the director of operations for Treblemonsters, a music management and curation company. Last August, Akkawi and a group of musicians temporarily moved down to Mexico from Chicago to take advantage of the country’s more lax COVID-19 restrictions and continue performing as part of a hotel residency. The decision was a bold (and controversial) one. In a year where most artists and music industry professionals had to pivot due to the decimation of the live music scene, the Treblemonsters seemed to have found something of a coveted loophole, one...

Album reviews: Julien Baker, The Hold Steady, William Parker
Julien Baker "Little Oblivions" (Matador *** 1/2) Julien Baker commands attention on stage with just the sound of her voice and guitar. She’s expert at holding audiences rapt with unadorned, emotionally fraught songs that turn noisy concert halls into hushed, hallowed spaces. In some ways, "Little Oblivions," the 25-year-old Memphis songwriter’s third album, which is self-produced, feels like a departure from that approach. The arrangements are fleshed out, with a grand, full-band sound she created playing most instruments herself. Her engineer, Calvin Lauber, also chipped in, and Phoebe Bridg...
