The folks at the Canopy Club love local music. And so do we.
Tonight the Canopy will host an evening of local performances, dubbed “A Tribute to Local Bands.” The schedule features nearly everyone that can play an instrument in town — and their mothers. (Well, maybe not moms, though given the weekend it wouldn’t be a bad idea.) If you can’t find something in this lineup to appeal to your ears, well, you just aren’t listening. So away we go with the enormous roster.
The show kicks off with Angie Heaton, followed by the duos Casados and The Hathaways. Lucky Mulholland, Sunset Stallion and Hot Cops are up next, and there’s also Zmick, Sangamon, Tall Tale, World’s First Flying Machine, Brother Whys, and New Ruins to boot. Champaign favorite Tractor Kings perform after midnight right before Snowsera and then headliners, Santa, round out the bill.
The show begins at 6 p.m, and you better bring some java because this one looks like it could be a long night. The bands will alternate performances from the Small Hall to The Void.
The love letter to local bands costs $7. Canopy is hosting the event as part of its 10th anniversary celebration.
