We’re happy to be working the upcoming Rodrigo y Gabriela show at the Chicago Theatre being produced by Jam Productions. This world renowned guitar duo doesn’t make it to town that often so we take every chance we get to see them. This tour will feature the group performing with a backing band throughout the US for the first time. C.U.B.A., who collaborated with the duo on the recent album “Area 52,” will be playing on all dates.
The direction staff has been hanging posters and delivering handbills for this performance on our hipster and Latino specialty route distributions.
Rodrigo y Gabriela will be at The Chicago Theatre for a special, one night only appearance on Thursday, April 12. Tickets for this show are now on sale and interested parties are encouraged to buy now. This concert will sell out. For seats and other upcoming shows at the theatre, please visit thechicagotheatre.com.

As Christmas breezes through the city, holiday themed performances make their way into Chicago. One of them is Ian Flemming’s classic story of an inventor, his flying car, and the adventure that ensues.
We’ll be promoting Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and several other events all at the Lights Festival this Saturday. Events like this offer a fantastic opportunity to reach children and families and allow our brand ambassadors to personally connect with consumers and engage them in conversation about events and products.
Other upcoming events like this include the State Street Thanksgiving Day Parade, Holiday on the Plaza Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, and Mayor Daley’s Holiday Sports Festival. Sporting events are also a great place to promote and connect with consumers. The Bears, Bulls, and Blackhawks are all in the middle of their respective seasons and present a wonderful opportunity to reach thousands of people.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is at the Chicago Theatre Feb. 11th-15th 2009
