Roarmen

What better way to celebrate another Halloween than by resurrecting some ancient ghosts from the past?  Well, maybe not exactly ancient, but it has been a while…  Rooftop Sessions Chicago is excited to announce our return from the grave by presenting our first video from local rockers, Roarmen!  RSC was stoked to get our feet wet again working with Roarmen on our very first socially distanced live concert stream event earlier this month.  Check out the initial release from the night, Roarmen performing Goddamned Ghost, live from Algonquin!

For the Rooftop crew, we had heard of Jim before, but were completely blown away to witness the incredible performance up close and personal. Despite the unceasing accompaniment of the […]

2014 High Fidelity Music Series

In 2014 we curated a music series in collaboration with Chicago Public Radio, WBEZ, for their High Fidelity Music Series. We brought some of our favorite acts out to play at a pretty spectacular venue. The WBEZ studio terrace at Navy Pier. With only 150 tickets available to each show, each one sold out in a matter of minutes. All in all each night was pretty special. Incredible music from extremely talented artists grown right out of our own region.
