Pub In The Park

There is a lot of life and liveliness generally in the areas outside of Chicago. These aren’t sleepy suburbs that typically develop around cities of substantial size, but are part of a history of expansion where old families have settled years ago. Each place has its own history, and lineage, and Lisle has many claims to fame. This is the place where the Morton family has its U.S. origins, and guests might not even know that when they visit the very popular Morton Arboretum. For all the restaurants and hotels Lisle offers, it is an exciting place. But it is also a place where one can go and unwind, enjoying the seasons in a quaint midwestern town, where the big city brings entertainment near enough to catch.

The nearby Bolingbrook has a summer concert series that’s a beautiful thing to catch. Summer here is one of the loveliest times to visit, where the idyllic lazy months are captured by an atmosphere that is as real and as deep as the soil here. There are lots of different kinds of music featured, including the Motown wonders, The Cryan Shames, along with Mexican Son music, blues, and Latin infusion. It’s hard to have a summer concert without steel band music, however, and for this, Chicago’s Od Tapo Imi is on the bill.

Only in Chicago can there be a steel band act where some of the members have names with the Polish consonants in search of a vowel, and the nine-member act does it up with lively island style. There is a lot of diversity in the band, and it allows them to move around in musical styles, but they always stay true to the Caribbean roots of the steel drum. They delight crowds in Chicago, and all over, in the suburban areas, and this year residents of Lisle, and visitors, will get to hear what the rhythms are all about.
