Come to the MCA for free live jazz concerts every Tuesday during the summer, at Tuesdays on the Terrace, presented by Macy’s. A different gourmet buffet prepared by Wolfgang Puck Catering is served each week, with dishes created using fresh locally-grown produce from the MCA Farmer’s Market. For a more casual evening, bring your own blanket  for a relaxing evening on the garden lawn. In case of rain, the event takes place in Puck’s Cafe.

We have been executing hand-to-hand distributions for the past month, including hits at the Green City Market, Taste of Randolph, and Jammin’ at the Zoo. Be sure to grab a handbill which lists the complete schedule of artists performing each night

Summertime means one thing: the start of tour season. This year, two jam band heavyweights take to the road and will make their way to Alpine Valley.  The Dave Matthews Band will be playing two shows July 4th weekend. Jack Johnson, who is touring in support of his latest album To the Sea, will play at the end of July.  100% of his 2010 tour profits will be donated to charity.

Together with Live Nation, we will be promoting both of these shows.  We printed posters for each artist which we are distributing throughout the Chicagoland area.  Both acts are notorious for selling out amphitheaters, so be sure to get your tickets as soon as possible.
