Umbrella Music Festival

The lineup for this year's Umbrella Music Festival has just been released. Last year marked Umbrella's first attempt at a Festival, during which I was lucky enough to catch Evan Parker playing with Ned Rothenberg (and a number of Chicagoans). I'll reproduce the dates below; you can click on Umbrella's link at the side for further information.

We won't attend all of these concerts, but we will certainly attend at least one. At this point I'm leaning toward seeing famed NYC subway performers Sabir Mateen and Daniel Carter at the Hideout on November 3rd, but I'm open to suggestions. Perhaps our Treasurer has some ideas?
