Join us at The Strand on Saturday, April 11th, for a special hometown debut. After years in the classroom, local musician and educator Chris Weiss is stepping onto the stage to premiere original music from his upcoming album, Stay Like This.
Collaborating with Atlanta-based music producer Dan Marshall, Chris has developed a high-fidelity performance that brings the studio arrangements of his upcoming album to life.
We are offering two distinct performances tailored for our Evanston community:
4:00 PM | The Kids & Families Show ($15)
This set is specifically for the young and the young at heart. Chris will perform songs from his upcoming album Stay Like This—a collection focused on joy, mindfulness, and the beauty of childhood. No “kids’ music” tropes here; just honest songs about the good stuff and a few classroom favorites.
7:00 PM | The Grown-Up Show ($25)
A full-length concert featuring the more mature, reflective songs from Chris’s debut project Perfect Day. This evening set offers an intimate look at the songwriting and stories behind the music.
