WBEZ Hosts The High Fidelity Music Series

The Empty Bottle and 312 Presents have teamed up for concert series projects in the past—Music Friendly Dancing and Sundays in the Park, for instance—but none have been as exclusive as this one. The two are joining forces with WBEZ to present the High Fidelity Music Series, which will feature five concerts throughout the year at WBEZ studios, each an intimate show with a small audience and free with RSVP.

The series kicks off next Thursday, February 16, with its first installment featuring British Dream-pop act Veronica Falls. Here’s how it works: Non-WBEZ members can win by shooting an email to RSVP@EmptyBottle.com with “Veronica Falls at WBEZ Studios - 2/16/12” in the subject line before midnight on February 12 (each RSVP is good for the sender only). However, space is limited, and RSVP doesn’t guarantee admission. If your name is selected from the drawing, you’ll receive an email the following day with info about the concert. (If you're a WBEZ High Fidelity member you can click here to RSVP for tickets.)

If you don’t win free admission to the show, you can catch Veronica Falls that same day when they perform the Bottle with supporting acts Brilliant Colors and The Halamays.

Veronica Falls plays in the afternoon on Thursday, February 16 for the High Fidelity Music Series at WBEZ Studios at Navy Pier, Free with RSVP; and then later that evening at the Empty Bottle, 1035 N Western, 9:30 p.m., $8, 21+
