Evanston Entertainment Venue To Bring Concerts To Your Front Lawn

EVANSTON, IL—The new coronavirus has forced many entertainment venues to cancel upcoming concerts as Illinois' stay-at-home order remains in effect. However, that hasn't stopped some, like Evanston SPACE, from thinking completely outside the box.

The live music hall is taking its show on the road by bringing its inaugural Space To-Go Concerts literally to your door. Think of it as your own personal concert on your lawn.

"Time to crack open the front door, safely emerge from your quarantine, and gently rock the suburbs," Evanston SPACE said in an email. "We’ll bring everything you need for a unique and memorable micro-concert on your front lawn or in your backyard."

According to staff, everything will be safely distanced and sanitized. All you need to do is pull up a chair and enjoy the show.

"It's the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion or just treat your family and neighbors to a really unique musical experience," they said.

Appearing at the inaugural Space To-Go Concerts series on Saturday, May 9, will be Evanston's own Jason Narducy of Split Single, Superchunk, and Bob Mould Band. Each unique concert will also include the following items:

• 30-minute performance on your front lawn or in your backyard. This is not unplugged, but is solo.
• Small groups of neighbors are welcome to join, as long as they keep a safe distance
• 2 Detroit-style pizzas from Union Squared (ready to bake)
• Drinks for 10 people
• 1 Dozen Cookies from Noir d'Ebene
• Assorted Space swag

The price for the Space To-Go Concerts is $450. Supply is limited and shows will be arranged on a first come first served basis.

"The safety and security of everyone involved is paramount, and concert can only take place if physical distancing is carefully observed," organizers stressed.
