About this Event
The Homewood Arts Council (HAC) welcomes WESLEY STACE for a solo performance before an intimately sized audience at Senior Hall, located on the grounds of the Homewood Izaak Walton Preserve. Doors open at 6:15pm. Show begins at 7:00pm.
Wesley Stace was born in Hastings, East Sussex in 1965. He released many albums under the name John Wesley Harding before switching back to his birth name for more recent recordings, including 2021’s Late Style and the monumental limited-edition Secret Series, for which he revisited his entire discography for new solo acoustic releases. Stace has recorded duets with Bruce Springsteen, Lou Reed and Rosanne Cash, among other contemporaries. He has published four novels, including the international bestseller Misfortune, and recently co-wrote Mark Morris’ memoir Out Loud. He also created and is the impresario of Cabinet of Wonders, a cabaret-style multi-artist show that plays at New York City’s City Winery, and which The New Yorker called “one of the finest nights of entertainment this city has to offer.”
Stace has taught at Princeton, Swarthmore and Fairleigh-Dickinson, and writes regularly for the Times Literary Supplement and the Wall Street Journal. He lives in Philadelphia.
Casey McDonough is a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist born and raised in and around Chicago (Homewood native and a disciple of Aurelio's Pizza).
Though already playing several instruments and performing in school choir, it was hearing I Feel Fine at the age of 12 that truly set his course. The Beatles remain his biggest influence, along with Sam Cooke, Chuck Berry, Elvis (Presley and Costello), The Zombies, Memphis Soul, and Rockabilly.
Casey has logged studio or stage time with the likes of Robbie Fulks, Jack Scott, Linda Gail Lewis, Jake LaBotz, and a memorable run of shows singing lead with hero Brian Wilson.
When not on the road playing bass with NRBQ, Casey can be found in Chicago with bands such as The Flat Five, The Western Elstons, Phil Angotti, Rami and the Reliables, the Possum Hollow Boys, and Little Calumet & the Tributaries.
Pizza, water and soft drinks will also be available for purchase. Cash/Card accepted.
The HAC thanks the Homewood Izaak Walton Preserve for generously sharing its space.
