Two Way Street Coffee House is Chicagoland’s most beloved folk and acoustic music venue, presenting weekly concerts and community events for over 50 years! The show starts at 8pm (CT) and the doors open at 7:30pm. (Suggested donation $10). We will also host this concert virtually. You may access the livestream on www.twowaystreet.org, on our Facebook page or on our YouTube channel.
Aaron Lacombe makes the kind of music listening rooms were built for. His songs are honest, lived-in stories drawn from ordinary moments, hard-earned lessons, love, loss, and life on the road. Influenced by master storytellers like Guy Clark and Lyle Lovett without trying to imitate either, Aaron follows a simpler rule: “the truth is the shortcut to everything.” He travels the country playing places where people come to listen—not just to the songs, but to the stories behind them—which makes Two Way Street a particularly natural stop.
Listening to Aaron’s songs, you won’t hear a lot of effort to sound like anyone else or to play by any particular set of rules. Sure, it’s only natural that dashes of heroes like Lyle Lovett or Guy Clark sneak into the stew, but what you’ll mostly hear are stories being told from the perspective of man who has been there and wants to share what he learned from them.
Laundry hanging on the line, or the death of a dear friend in the passenger seat of his truck; if it’s in the song, it probably happened.
Aaron can be found driving across the United States and beyond with his rescue pals Oscar and Zeke. He Plays theaters, listening rooms, festivals and back yards… the kind of places where all the seats face the stage and folks are there to hear the songs and the stories behind them.
