Shoe Fest Happened And Will Happen Again
New Dates, New Old Highlights
Shoe Fest announced last week that it would return for its third year next September 6-8.
“We will once again be hosted by the beautiful Camp Shaw-Waw-Nas-See in Manteno, IL, less than an hour south of Chicago city limits.”
Yay!
Last year’s Shoe Fest (poster here) fell through the cracks here at Beachwood Music, and we’ve wanted to make it up ever since. Now’s our chance. Here are some Shoe Fest 2012 highlights grabbed from chickenheadfan’s YouTube channel with appreciation and gratitude.
(And bookmark Shoe-Fest.com to keep apprised of the lineup and other details.)
1. Ben Miller Band.

Chi City Checks In
A South Side Story To Tell
“Hailing from Southside Chicago, Chi City is undeniably one of the most lyrically explosive rappers in the Midwest. Chi City has inched his way into the music game as a writer, lyricist, performer, and he has been expanding his brand to reach audiences across the U.S.
“Unlike so many rappers out that talk more about partying and sex, Chi City’s ‘Story To Tell’ tells the story of so many who strive to make it out of the streets and projects.
“From the start, the song hits you with a nice strong and smooth street beat. Chi City reminds us of a young Kanye West as he details the struggles to make ends meet and his dreams of success in an unbalanced and cruel world where he fights against becoming a statistic of the streets. Chi City reaches out to emerging East Coast emcee The Kid Daytona to paint a vivid picture of growing up in the streets of New York. In the end they share the same heart ache and pain as they both travel the same road to success.”
