Win tickets to see Black Prairie at Schubas Oct. 21
Black Prairie, an Americana act featuring 60 percent of The Decemberists, is playing Schubas on Oct. 21, and The A.V. Club has a pair of tickets to give away. Anyone interested in winning said tickets must send an email with the words “Black Prairie” in the subject line to ochicago@theonion.com.
Chris Funk, known primarily for his work as lead guitarist and multi-instrumentalist for the erudite indie-rock group The Decemberists, founded Black Prairie with two other Decemberists and two mainstays of the Portland, Ore. folk-rock scene as an outlet for their shared love of traditional Americana and roots music. Their acclaimed debut album was released earlier this year on the iconic bluegrass label Sugar Hill Records.
