Chicago jam band legends Mr. Blotto are bringing the party to Two Brothers Roundhouse Saturday JUNE 13th!!!

For over 30 years, Mr. Blotto, has been tearing up stages across the Midwest with their signature blend of rock, roots, and free-flowing improvisation. Think Grateful Dead-inspired jams, extended solos, and a show that’s never the same twice.

This isn’t just a concert—it’s a full-on experience:
With special guests AuraLight in the house too!

Whether you’re a longtime fan or just looking for a high-energy night out, this is one of those shows where you come early… and stay late.

👉 Tapers welcome. Good vibes required.blotto

Ok who wants a piece of Mr. Blotto and a real thunderous bass bottom for live or home stereo/theater? We are selling some of our bass bottoms because on our recent warehouse move, we realized we have more than we use. Each box contains two JBL E140 8 Ohm speakers.
