Hooting with Chris Walz - Sunday, May 18th

Ever heard the word “hootnany?”

Sure, it was a TV show. But the real hootnanies were folks gathering to play and sing together; they were most popular in the 50’s and 60’s. Well, hootnanies are now back — at S.P.A.C.E. a new performance facility in Evanston.

Chris Walz, one of the school’s most popular guitar teachers, is now leading a hoot including folk, bluegrass, and popular songs the first and third Sundays of every month.

The first Hoot was great fun. About 30 folks attended; the chairs were in a circle and people who wanted to lead songs could do so. Some brought instruments, but many just came to sing. The next Hoot will be Sunday, May 18th, 3:30-6 pm, 1245 Chicago Avenue, Evanston.(847-492-8860). $5 individual, $10 family at the door. This is a whole family event, so bring the kids!
