“Congress of Starlings is a long-time favorite on the Chicago indie music scene. Aerin Tedesco and Andrea Bunch have been called ‘two of the most beautiful noises on the planet.’ The Starlings have brought their music to world famous venues like Milwaukee’s Summerfest, The National Women’s Music Festival, Halsted Market Days, Taste of Chicago, Pride Fest, Hard Rock Café, The House of Blues, and to beloved Chicago venues like The Old Town School of Folk Music, SPACE, Schuba’s and Martyr’s.”
Whether as an acoustic duo or a full band, Congress of Starlings joyfully delivers a unique, startling blend of unearthly harmonies, rich melodies, and unusual meters. Lyrically, their concerns reach from the depths of the heart, across the damaged American landscape, and through the mists of other worlds. Their voices are unmatched in their ability to move and enrapture audiences. Their songs are raw and powerful.
Congress of Starlings recent highlights ~
We produce Covers for Cover, now in its 17th year. Covers for Cover brings together trans and cis women artists to raise funds for women in need. Our annual shows are celebratory, uplifting concerts full of fans and artists cheering each other on! This December, Covers for Cover was proud to raise $25,000 for the Chicago Abortion Fund.

We will walk for approximately an hour, but if others feel up to it, we can extend our walk as necessary.
We will meet about 10 minutes before our walk at the picnic tables located near the BOWA (Bur Oak Welcoming Area) located to the right of the driveway as you pull in.

Farley Center Food Forest Tour with Kalev Kristjuhan
2023-06-03 19:00 - 20:00 | Farley Center for Peace, Justice & Sustainability, 2299 Spring Rose Rd., Verona, WI, United States
6-3-23
Come tour the food forest at the Farley Center with Kalev Kristjuhan following the Too Sick CharlieConcert (5:00-7:00 p.m./$15). There is no cost for the tour.
The food forest includes newly planted areas through the Wisconsin Food Forests initiative (https://www.wisconsinfoodforests.com/) as well as more mature areas featuring a range of planting styles: guilds and contours and a mix of plants from the well known: apples, pears, and grapes, to the lesser known: paw paw, cornelian cherry, honeyberry, quince, serviceberry, currants, and many more under and overstory plants.
The Farley Center is a certified organic farm where many growers rent land and share common resources like tractors, irrigation lines, and coolers.
