Lakeside Pride

It’s time for the annual Chicago thaw—so shake off the hibernation, slide into Sidetrack, and let someone pour you something sparkling while we do the rest.

Our May show, Spring Awakening, is that first deep breath after a long winter: a little bittersweet, a little hopeful, and suddenly full of sunlight. Expect songs that feel like rain finally letting up, clouds rolling by, and the world going bright again—big-heart anthems, soft nostalgia, and just enough yearning to make it shimmer.

Join us May 9 at Sidetrack. Doors open at 1:00 pm—grab a drink, toast the thaw, then meet us in Main Bar for the show at 1:30 pm.

And keep that calendar handy—our next show is June 22 with Unity. We’ll share more soon, but for now: save the date and stay tuned.

They say only fools rush in, but you’ll be rushing to see our April show Fools Rush In. We’re leaning all the way into April Fool’s energy—puppy love, teen angst, and those delicious moments when you realize you’ve been gloriously, completely fooled. Expect a cocktail of swoony classics, pop confessions, and big-belt heartbreak as the Wildelings chase rainbows, fall too fast, and prove (musically) that bad decisions make great cabaret.

Join us April 18 at Sidetrack. Doors open at 1, so come early for a drink—then meet us in Main Bar for the show at 1:30 pm.
