O'Plaine Station concert series

O'Plaine Station concert series www.opstationcs.com The barn is said to have been a stop on the underground railroad. All musical styles welcome.

O'Plaine Station is a house concert series located on Concord Square in the Providence Village neighborhood, Gurnee, IL.
{For Families, Friends and Folk}

email [email protected] to RSVP for events, or for any inquiries. The name of the concert series is taken from both the main road leading into our subdivision (O’Plaine Road) and the historic O’Plaine House (aka Mother Rudd House) and the

associated barn behind, located a couple miles from our house concert venue. It was located 100 yards from the Des Plaines river and behind the popular boarding house which had visitors coming and going at all hours. Since most underground railroad stops were called “stations”, our think tank came up with O’Plaine Station. For touring musicians, we are a welcoming stop along your long journey from one place to the next. We take in all and provide a safe space to share ideas, thoughts, stories and songs in an intimate environment with eager ears and open minds. We will put you up for the night (or two) and treat you as we would treat our own folk.

We are excited for our final summer house concert for 2026 featuring Wattle and Daub in two weeks!

Wattle & Daub at the O'Plaine Station
August 15th @ 7p

Wattle & Daub are a wonderful and authentic acoustic duo rooted in their passion for the power of the folk music tradition.
From the heart of the midwest, in northern Illinois, husband and wife singer-songwriters, Tim and Susan Mocarski are dedicated to keeping folk culture alive and kicking through participation, social commentary, and entertainment.

“Our songwriting heroes are people like John Prine, Steve Goodman, Dolly Parton, and Warren Zevon…. people who tell stories with underlying messages,” Susan relates. “Our songs use traditional harmonies that are immediately familiar with lyrics that tug at common heartstrings.” Tim adds, “We don’t try to be fancy. Paraphrasing Pete Seeger: We wrote some songs. Here they are. Hope you sing with us."

The Shandies at our house concert series - July 25th @ 7p.

They’ve spent the last decade performing together and crafting a sound that wanders comfortably between folk, Americana, rock, and indie pop. Their songs are personal, a little playful, and perfect for the cozy atmosphere of our house concerts!

(Here's a video of the first time we experienced The Shandies at the Folk Alliance Region Midwest (FARM) conference back in October of 2025)
