Lil' Red & the Rooster live in Highland Park

Experience Lil' Red & the Rooster live on August 29th

Lil' Red & the Rooster are scheduled to perform at Madame Zuzu’s in Highland Park, Illinois on August 29, 2026. The band is known for a distinctive blend of roots rock, blues, and vintage country influences, often incorporating elements of swing and rockabilly. Their performances frequently feature strong vocal harmonies and instrumental arrangements centered around guitar, upright bass, and drums. They have cultivated a following through regional touring and several independently released albums.

Madame Zuzu’s is a performance venue and art space established by singer-songwriter Jim James (of My Morning Jacket) and his wife. Opened in 2014, the space was conceived as a community hub focused on music, art, and creative expression. The venue is intentionally intimate, designed to foster close interaction between performers and audiences. It regularly hosts a diverse range of musical acts spanning genres like Americana, jazz, blues, and experimental music. Beyond concerts, Madame Zuzu’s also features rotating art exhibits showcasing local artists and offers workshops related to various artistic disciplines. The building itself previously functioned as a pharmacy before its transformation into the current venue.
