Come to the Acorn Theater!

On Saturday, April 22, the Ides will return to the iconic Acorn Theater, in quaint Three Oaks, Michigan, a mere 70 miles from downtown Chicago, and a favorite, intimate place for the Ides to play, along with many regional, national and international performers. We all love the vibe at the Acorn, come and experience it, yourself.  

The theater is in a restored featherbone corset factory which also houses Journeyman Distillery and Staymaker restaurant. Come early and enjoy Three Oaks. 

It is in the Eastern time zone, so be sure to adjust your time of arrival for the 8 o’clock show.

IDES RE-RELEASE ANTHEM OF HOPE CELEBRATING CHICAGO SPIRIT

/in , , /by

The Ides of March felt the time was right for re-releasing our 1992 City of Chicago anthem “Spirit Of Chicago” with a brand-new lyric video done by Paul Braun.

Beside yours truly and all of the Ides our special guests included Dennis DeYoung, Cathy Richardson, the late Gary Loizzo (American Breed) and Jim Ellison (Material Issue), Frankie Sullivan, Rick Nielsen, John Melnick and Dave Carl.  What a cast of Chicago classics including my co-writer Dick Eastman.

This song and video can be seen on the Ides’ YouTube channel and the Ides’ official Facebook page.

Special thanks to everyone who took part in this and the photographer Barry Butler and others who donated their brilliant images to the celebration of The Spirit of Chicago.
