Colvin Concerts: Rachel Drew Band
Rachel Drew grew up in a musical household on the north side of Chicago singing 3-part harmony with her parents, getting lost in imaginary songs on the family piano, and dancing wildly to dusty classical records. She's now a mom, a prolific songwriter, a fixture in multiple Chicago groups and musical residencies, and a frequent close harmony singer on other people's records. Rachel's band offers soulful ballads and moderate rockers drenched in late-night honky-tonk ambiance no matter the time of day. The songs are soaked in blues, country and western, and rockabilly, half originals and half covers.
Band: Rachel Drew on vocals and guitar, John Szymanski on vocals and guitar, Aaron Smith on vocals and bass, Jason Batchko on drums

While RSVP is free, there is a suggested donation in place of a ticket price at the door so that Colvin House can pay their talented, local artists and continue supporting the performing arts. They ask that you contribute $20 or $15/person toward paying the musicians and staff for their efforts in producing these community concerts at the Colvin House.
Colvin House cannot make change so please bring the exact amount you plan on donating. While they also accept Zelle & PayPal, they do prefer cash donations. Thank you!

For $20, valet parking is also available at the Malibu Condominiums (6007 N. Sheridan Rd.) public garage, just across the street, north of Colvin House. This parking can be validated by Colvin House for $2 off.
