Owen Walsh in Concert at The Lake County Folk Club

Join the Lake County Folk Club on Sunday, August 17th for their monthly acoustic concert featuring Owen Walsh.

Owen Walsh has been telling stories and performing music his entire life.

Owen began playing violin at the age of three, studying formal repertoire. At 12 years old, he found his dad's dusty, old Epiphone guitar tucked away in a closet and taught himself how to play. Soon after he learned his first few chords, Owen began writing songs. He's followed in the long tradition of Americana folk music, in which lyrics are equal in importance to the melodies that bind them.

Concert Opener: Cath Kasmer

Silent Book Club - Grayslake

Join Beer Bazaar for Silent Book Club Grayslake!

What is Silent Book Club you ask? It’s a meetup happy hour of quiet reading with book-minded pals sandwiched between opportunities to chat with others about what you’re reading/listening to, all while supporting a local business.

When you arrive, you’ll pick a spot in the store, grab a drink/snack, and get cozy. There will be opportunities to chat with others before and after the quiet reading happy hour (if you're up for people-ing).
