Honestly, you can't get much better that
SPACE in Evanston's beautiful venue and it's excellent curation of acts that grace their stage. So when they stretch their legs outside their speakeasy style, you know it's for a great reason.
Out of Space, a series of outdoor concerts happening through out the summer, is one such excellent reason.
Having just wrapped up their stint of
Temperance Beer Co. shows this weekend, Out of Space is ready for more! Their next set of shows will be taking place at
Canal Shores on Aug 8th –11th! Their return to the much-loved community golf course in Evanston looks just as good as the Temperance Beer Co., maintaing the high quality you'd expect from a SPACE run show!
