Chicago indie rockers Califone are playing a free show at the Lawrence Public Library next week
With a new album, The Villager’s Companion, out on Valentine’s Day, Chicago experimental rock band Califone is embarking on a living room tour. The lone exception is when the Lawrence Public Library’s Sound+Vision Studio presents the band for a free show in its auditorium on Wednesday, February 19.
“You ever love something so much, and you can’t explain why? You just want people to experience it in hopes that it will resonate with them as much as it did with you,” says Lawrence Public Library director Brad Allen.
“That’s how I feel about Califone.”
Allen continues on to say that the library is lucky to have amazing people that provide private funding to make unexpected things happen in Lawrence and thanks Sylvie Rueff for providing funding to bring frontman Tim Rutilito town for this show.
As to what you can expect, Rutilito wrote on the Califone Facebook page, “It’ll be Max Knouse and me playing duo style Califone. we’re going to some places we don’t normally get to, and maybe won’t get to again. the world is a beast and we have some tension to transform into energy and love. I hope you can join us.”
