After dinner in the area, we stumbled upon a small local music festival in Logan Square. With a bit of gentle encouragement from me, the group agreed to venture in for a little while. Brooklyn-based electronic musician Eliot Lipp was the main onstage when we walked in. His blend of hip hop, electro, house, and dubstep was enough to entice me to encourage everyone to enter. Unfortunately, he only had another song or two in his set. After watching a vaudeville act for a while, we wandered over to the other side to see a fun unnamed Brazilian samba Band. Conga lines and so forth. On the way out, we caught BoomBox, consisting of singer/songwriter Zion Godchaux on guitar/lead vocals and producer/DJ Russ Randolph on sequencers, groove boxes and turn-tables. They pull together an eclectic combination of rock, psychedelic, and house. Certainly not the greatest festival and we didn’t stay that long but it was nice to stumble upon.
