Performing such beloved classics as "Sweet Home Chicago," "Gimme Some Lovin'," "Everybody Needs Somebody," and Aretha Franklin's "Respect," the Chicago-based tribute artists of The Blooze Brothers bring their high-energy act to Mt. Carroll's Timber Lake Playhouse on October 18, delivering an explosive mix of Motown, classic rock, soul, and, of course, blues alongside Windy City great Kimberly "Hot Sauce" Johnson.

October is Void Church season. The Quad Cities collective books shows in all seasons. But when the shadows fall and the light fades, when the veil draws thin and the wind whispers dark and suggestive secrets on the chilling air, Void Church falls into their element. The term “goth” is thrown around like a can of black lacquer, but it fits them like a pair of fishnets. They invite you to come revel in the dying of the light, with one caveat: “Are you ready to meet your shadow?”
