Kevin Purcell and Friends have been playing around Chicago for 30 years, playing Blues/Southern Rock on stages from all over the Chicagoland area, ultimately representing Chicago at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, where we competed against 225 bands from around the world to finish in the top 9 in the finals at the Orpheum Theater. That led us to play at The King Biscuit Blues Festival in Helena, Ark (the biggest blues fest in the south, twice) to play in Las Vegas at The Riviera.

Doors open at 6pm. The show begins at 8pm.

*Advanced Ticket purchase required. Limited tickets available.

Craigstock 2023

Craigstock 8, 23385 N. Old Barrington Road, North Barrington

This year is a special year for the NightBurners at CraigStock -=- it is a reunion of sorts!!! The usual gents will be there, one Bill LeClair, one Tony Root, one Kevin Purcell, but... With the addition of the incendiary Vic Perrino on Guitar, and the skilled madman on skins (drums), Jeff Martindale, aka Stickman, this will be the lineup of the Nightburners from over a decade ago, when we delivered nothing but blazing hot rockin' blues to the masses of the NW suburbs, and with a little help from the Back Burner's horn section, that is exactually what we plan to do at CraigStock this Sat Night!!!!

Gates open at Noon

Bring: Cooler (full), Chairs, Blankets, Shade if you like, and Food to throw on the grill. There will be a fair amount of food provided.

Recommended $10 Entry Donation / Tip Jars. There will be raffles as well - a musician-signed guitar and possibly t-shirts.
