Event details

Before Andrew Weishar passed in October of 2012 of colorectal cancer, Andrew asked his younger brother Dan to pay forward the acts of kindness and generosity shown to their family during his battle. In early 2013, Weish4Ever was created to honor this selfless request, specifically by: easing the financial burden, bringing joy, and ensuring patients and their families know theyre not alone in their fight against cancer. With this concert, our goal is to raise money for future beneficiaries of the foundation and raise awareness for an incredible cause. THE BASEMENT BUMSThe Basement Bums are a Chicago-based four-piece rock band made up of resident physicians who met in medical school. Theyve been playing bars throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs for years, frequently performing at fundraisers and community events where live music supports a good cause.Their setlist mixes indie and alternative staples, classic rock, blues, and crowd-favorite sing-alongs. Drawing from artists like Queen, ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Black Keys, Marcus King, and Chris Stapleton, the Bums bring a high-energy show that keeps people dancing, singing along, and hanging around for another round.The Basement Bums bring loud guitars, big choruses, and the kind of energy that keeps the crowd coming back for more.
