Edible Audible Picnic: High Places July 19, 2010

Edible Audible Picnic, the poly-rhythmic music series returns to Millennium Park at noon this summer, featuring DJs and live bands as diverse and entrancing as the electronic genre in which they play. Presented by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Millennium Park, this free series expands to include 16 concerts on Mondays and select Saturdays at noon, beginning June 7 through September 4, 2010.

High Places consist of Mary Pearson and Rob Barber. Since its inception, High Places has created a signature sound out of using bass-heavy, yet crisp beats, lilting vocal melodies, syncopated rhythmic lines performed on folk percussion instruments, guitar duets turned into treated samples, and percussive lines created from the manipulation of household objects. Their brand new record, High Places vs. Mankind, was released to rave reviews on Chicago’s own Thrill Jockey label.
