Join Twist Out Cancer and BWC Alum, Noah Plotkin & his band, Bowmanville, for a meet up at Gallagher Way on September 28th! Dance & socialize with the members of the TOC Chicago community as you enjoy the French Market!

Hailing from Chicago, Bowmanville strives to bring the hip sensibilities of Hot Club Jazz from 1930s Paris mingled with the influences born of Chicago’s global crossroads to a wider audience. Led by violinist Ethan Adelsman, with Graham Nelson on harmonica/vocals, Noah Plotkin on drums, Oliver Horton on bass, and Mason Jiller on guitar, the group draws inspiration from diverse musical backgrounds to push the boundaries of their craft, thrilling audiences nationally. Creating a simmering synergy of vibrant bouncing sound that crackles with electric energy, Bowmanville leaves listeners always hungry for more.

This is a wonderful opportunity to hear live music and enjoy the out door French Market! We look forward to seeing you there & we’d love for you to bring a friend. Share this event with your friends.
