Willi Resetarits & the Stubnblues Allstars
27 Mar 2010
7:30 pm - $5

Austrian Star Willi Resetarits and the 4 piece Stubnblues Allstars engage the audience in English between selections with explanations of the Viennese dialect lyrics. The performance will be set intimately to keep the interaction high.

Stubnblues? In 1994, Willi Resetarits started what has become Stubnblues. It's music far beyond blues. It's funk. Samba. Folklore. Soul. Viennese songs. It's poems and stories. Back in the day, a Stubn was the only heated room in the house. It was the place where people gathered, ate, talked and sang. Stubnblues is not afraid to deal with troublesome issues; with something not being right, with failure, pain and miscommunication. Still all the while, there's beauty, hope and joy to it.

To draw a group of this caliber is entirely due to excellent collaboration with the Austrian Consulate General Chicago who is also underwriting the project. Additional consideration provided by Wein-Bauer Inc.

Please reserve your place. Refreshments available.

Free parking available at MB Financial lot Western & Gunnison. DANK -Haus is located 1/2 block from the Western Brown Line stop.
