About this Event

Tributosaurus is the Jurassic beast of multiple musical faces, playing the songs they’ve wanted to cover all their lives. They have become the ultimate musical chameleon, able to jump from style to style, from ensemble to ensemble. What makes their project work is their great love and respect for the music. As they say, "We love what they do, and have more fun than ought to be legal every time we play." Bring it!

Antler Chandelier, the Northshore's premier antler-referencing band, will kick the night off in a big way. They might pull you in with Janis Joplin or Queen and then take you on a hard left turn with Lizzo, P!nk, The Killers, or Dua Lipa. Weezer one minute, Lady Gaga the next. 80’s theme sets, acoustic dinner music, Prince, Muse, War Pigs. Oh my! And yes!


There will be barbeque from Wilmette's Backyard BBQ and bevvies from The Bottle Shop. The ticket includes a BBQ sandwich and a side. Bring your appetite!

Proceeds help support one of our favorite local causes, Family Promise, North Shore. Family Promise leverages community organizations and resources to help local families with children in homeless situations return quickly to permanent housing. They provide shelter, meals, job search assistance, and more—all while working to address the root causes of their homelessness.

So, bring your friends and family and join us for an evening filled with live music, hot barbeque, and great community.

* Please note tickets in advance are $35, and tickets at the door are $40. Bring your friends and bring the fam - kids under 12 are free!
