Keller Williams at Park West (18+)8:30pm GA/ doors 7:30
ChiIL Live Shows will be there...will YOU?! Highly recommended. We've had the great pleasure of interviewing Keller Williams and shooting stills at his adult and kindie shows for years. Check out our live show shots from Summer Camp Music Festival, Kidzapalooza, and Chicago's own Park West last year.
This multitalented musician goes beyond the jam band genre with a plethora of great releases for adults, a kindie (kids' indie) album, and a kids' book/CD combo!! We've given away loads of his CDs, and even the book/CD to our lucky readers.
This time through he's just playing for the big kids (AKA adults and kids 18+).
It was great to meet Keller, his wife, Emily, and the kids, Ella and Cabell last year at Park West in Chicago. Click HERE for our show stills and sneek peek.
Since ChiIL Live Shows & ChiIL Mama have a national following in the jam band and kindie communities check out Keller's upcoming tour dates beyond Chi-Town on his web site and keep up to date on Twitter, FB and social media sites.

Sunday
Brunch With Gymnast, Gabby Douglas
It's going to be a week of meeting heros and girls who rock. My gymnast daughter is elated to meet two members of the US Olympic girls team. Sunday we'll have brunch with Gabby Douglas and Monday we'll meet Aly Raisman at American Girl Place, Chicago. Who are your heros?
Olympic Champion Gabrielle Douglas will visit Chicago with her mother, Natalie Hawkins, to highlight a special event exclusive to mothers and daughters.
What: Douglas will speak to hundreds of mothers, daughters and supporters at the “Pink Pearls & Pretty Dresses: Girls’ Empowerment Brunch.” The event is a fundraiser for Inspire Girls to Lead Our World (iGlow)—a Chicago mentorship program for young girls.
When: Sunday, October 14, 2012; 12pm-4pm
Where: Donald E. Stevens Convention Center; 5555 N. River Road, Rosemont, IL 60018
Why: The event will be a day of inspiration and empowerment for young girls and their mothers. It will also help raise funds for iGlow so that it can continue delivering resources and guidance for young women in the Chicago-land area. In short, iGlow provides platforms for young girls to get answers to their questions about life and their struggles.
