Live on the Lawn featuring Smiley Tillmon Band with Kate Moss

Date: Sunday, August 17th, 2025

Doors & Showtime: 4:00PM

Tickets: Free admission! RSVP BELOW

RAIN OR SHINE!

About Smiley Tillmon Band:

One of the busiest blues outfits in Chicagoland, the Smiley Tillmon Band is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. There’s an obvious reason why the veteran guitarist’s booking schedule is so jam-packed: Smiley knows how to have a good time and makes sure his audience does too. After 55 years on the local blues scene, Tillmon serves up the blues and soul standards that people never seem to stop craving, his rich vocals and fluid guitar backed by a band that keeps his grooves tight and right.

Born Moses Tillmon in rural Jefferson County, Georgia, Smiley grew up on a hearty musical diet of gospel, country, and a little blues. His mother moved to Fort Lauderdale when he was ten; there he was exposed to calypso music, adding up to a singular list of influences. Tillmon took up guitar and was good enough by the dawn of the ‘60s to back Miami R&B singer Billy Miranda in the studio. He joined Sammy Ambrose & the Afro-Beats, a calypso-oriented band, touring from Canada to New York. Smiley bid the Afro-Beats adieu in 1962 and moved to Chicago. There he established himself on the blues circuit, playing with Billy “The Kid” Emerson, Denise LaSalle, and other South Side luminaries until he opted for a day job in 1977.

Upon his 2007 retirement, Smiley reverted to full-time musical status. He joined forces with bassist Tom Rezetko, and they’ve been inseparable onstage ever since. Kate Moss shares guitar duties with Tillmon; married to another blues guitar standout, Nick Moss, Kate’s sound is heavily influenced by Freddie King and Magic Sam (she fell in love with the blues at age 21 when she met Buddy Guy, and she’s shared stages with Buddy, Jimmy Johnson, Eddie Shaw, and Lurrie Bell, to name just a few). Drummer George Baumann completes one of the Windy City’s toughest blues combos, one that’ll keep you smiling from ear to ear.   - Bill Dahl

About:

Brother Jacob is a proud Chicago native, blues artist, radio host, and cultural preservationist whose performances blend the soul of gospel with the electric grit of Chicago blues. Born and raised on the city’s South Side, he fell in love with the blues as a child listening to WVON-AM’s Pervis Spann “The Blues Man” in the midnight hours. That deep musical foundation sparked a lifelong calling that would evolve into a unique voice on stage, over the airwaves, and in the city’s cultural conversations.

He began his professional journey through the Blues in the Schools program, performing at the Chicago Blues Festival under the mentorship of Deitra Farr. Over the years, Brother Jacob has become a familiar face on the scene, not just as a guest vocalist or sit-in performer, but as a frontman building a body of work with his own band and his own voice.

His music carries a spiritual intensity, rooted in storytelling and tradition, and driven by a mission to connect, uplift, and preserve. Brother Jacob delivers blues with reverence and revival.

Come down and celebrate Brother Jacob's birthday with an intimate set with "C.G." on keyboards!

LBJ: The Music & The Moment — 10th Anniversary Acoustic Celebration

Live at Epiphany Center for the Arts, Chicago, IL

Join acclaimed guitarist, composer, and bandleader LBJ (Larry Brown Jr.) for an unforgettable evening honoring the 10th anniversary of his celebrated sophomore release, The Music & The Moment. This one-night-only event features a stripped-down, acoustic reimagining of the original album—performed live in the intimate, acoustically rich setting of the Epiphany Center for the Arts in Chicago. Originally hailed by All About Jazz as “emotionally charged and stylistically expansive,” The Music & The Moment captured the soul of a musician deeply rooted in gospel, jazz, and blues traditions, yet unafraid to explore new musical terrain. Ten years later, LBJ returns to this defining work with fresh perspective, heart, and raw musicianship, inviting the audience to experience the music in its most vulnerable and soulful form. Expect inspired reinterpretations, stories behind the songs, and the kind of deep musical connection only a live, intimate acoustic set can provide

About:

Genesis of cincOH:

"OH" in Korean has a few meanings: a popular family name (my family name), the number five, among other things. Hence "cinco + OH" to signifies five decades I lived on this planet, my five organizing principles (Care, Community, Compassion, Dedication, & Integration), the five most important aspects of Tango to me (Music/Musicality, Ambience/Vibe in the room, Connection: both physical & emotional, Care/Respect for my partners & the ronda, and Finding Joy in every tanda), and finally the very first cincOH (2023) was the fifth large scale tango event I organized (*cincOH 4th edition will be my 9th event overall).​

My vision for cincOH going forward:

cincOH is a semiannual traveling event only by invitation (by recommendations from you as well as my personal connections) which will be capped at 180-250 people (role balanced including/emphasis on switch dancers). The event typically includes some type of non-dancing elements whether it be community forum, lectures, and/or group activity. It also often include philanthropy/fundraising aspect for selected causes. In a nutshell, the goal is to create a meaningful and fun events in which attendees fell safe and cared for.
