The Pretenders are BACK at the Riverside Theater for the first time since 2018 with music that’s melodic and bristling with rebellion. Fronted by singer/songwriter Chrissie Hynde, they expose the confessional underbelly of punk and new wave with an explosive combination of precision and flamboyance. Hits? Stop Your Sobbing, Brass in Pocket, Talk of the Town, Back on the Chain Gang, Time the Avenger, Middle of the Road, My City Was Gone and so many more. Their latest release Relentless continues the trend of innovation and attitude.

WMSE Presents Buddy Guy @ Riverside Theater
Aug 18 @ 8:00 pm – 11:45 pm

At age 86, Buddy Guy is a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, a major influence on rock titans like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, a pioneer of Chicago’s fabled West Side sound, and a living link to the city’s halcyon days of electric blues. These many years later, Buddy Guy remains a genuine American treasure and one of the final surviving connections to a historic era in the country’s musical evolution.
