It's summertime in Chicago. Time for countless street festivals, an over-crowded lakefront trail, and, uhh, two baseball teams in first place? But whatever, everyone knows Chicago owns the summer when it comes to live music. Even these guys know it.

If you're going to Ingrid's show definitely get there in time to see her opener, Greg Laswell. He's an underappreciated talent and should be playing a lot of material from his new album coming out in July. You can listen to his latest single "How the Day Sounds" at almightyjukebox.com or his Myspace page.
