Thu, Nov 14, 2024, 5:00 PM CSTHeading back to Barrington, now at the Wild Onion Pub
Wild Onion Pub, Lake Barrington, IL
$1.00
We chose the name Wild Onion in honor of the origins of Chicago’s name. “Che-cau-gua” was the phrase the original inhabitants of the region, the Potawatomi, used to describe the wild onions that grew throughout the area’s wetlands near the shores of Lake Michigan. We loved the imagery of the early French Canadian fur traders paddling their canoes down the Chicago River, surrounded by the distinctly aromatic wild onions as they approached the “big lake”. We believed it was the perfect name for a new brewery with old ties to the city.

The SEAN McKEE BAND
The Sean McKee Band is the 2024 WINNER of the Chicago Blues Challenge sponsored by the Windy City Blues Society and held at Buddy Guy's Legends. They are high energy Blues/Rock Band, mixing the styles of the Allman Brothers, BB King, Led Zeppelin, Tedeschi Trucks Band, and more into a genre medley that spans the sounds of low-down blues at The CheckerBoard Lounge to the blistering rock at the Madison Square Garden. Playing classic and deep-cut covers to original materials, it’s hard to believe a group of musicians younger than the age of 30 could emit the best sounds of a melting pot that inspires them, but doing so is what makes them an act you won’t want to miss!
The band's album "In This Life" was just reviewed by John Mitchell in Blues Blast Magazine (September 12, 2024 issue), and he concluded this about their high-energy blues/rock style...

"...the playing and vocals indicate a band with talent who may well go far in the blues-rock world." ~ John Mitchel of Blues Blast Magazine
