Phyllis' Musical Inn

Phyllis' Musical Inn "The only place in Wicker Park that hasn't changed since 1954"

For booking, call Clem at the bar.

Chicago's historical alternative/punk rock underground birthplace Phyllis' Musical Inn spawned Veruca Salt, catalyzed Wicker Park's 1990s creative class, and hosted My Morning Jacket's first Chicago show. An intimate outpost in a now-transformed landscape, Phyllis' Musical Inn provides alternative leisure to Wicker Park's gentrified classes, ubiquitous hipsters, and stubbornly entrenched artists,

recording professionals, luthiers, musicians, and writers who feed on the area's persevering postindustrial vibe. Chicago Sun-Times' coverage of Phyllis' 60th anniversary: http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/25263636-421/60-years-of-lively-sounds-at-phyllis-musical-inn.html

Stray Bolts weave blues, jazz, folk, traditional country and classic rock and roll into their sound, performing both original music and unique interpretations of familiar and not so familiar songs by seminal American artists.
