The long-lost psych-folk singer/songwriter Gary Higgins made a rare concert appearance at Millenium Park this past Monday, for free nonetheless! It was a mesmerizing performance of old classics and new gems. I was so happy to see one of my favorite musicians performing songs from one of my favorite albums of all time! I got some photos that, unfortunately, don't really capture the beauty of the monumental event. Read Gary's story here on the Chicago Reader site. Be sure to check out/pick up "Red Hash", his 1973 cult favorite album, recently reissued on Drag City.
