Macomb

Macomb's live-music calendar is anchored by Western Illinois University and a handful of downtown spots. The city runs a summer Downtown Concert Series in Chandler Park, drawing acts ranging from the WIU Jazz Combo and Rooftop Big Band to Troublesome Ridge Bluegrass and even a bagpipe band. The COFAC Recital Hall, located in Simpkins Hall on the WIU campus, hosts public performances by the university's School of Music. It seats 498 and its stage can accommodate up to 125 performers. The WIU School of Music uses the hall for events like its Symphony Orchestra concerts, performing works spanning classical repertoire from Boulanger to Hanson. Most performances are free and open to the public. The Wine Sellers is a wine bar on the Historic Downtown Square, open since 2003, with frequent live music both inside and out in its Back Door Beer Garden. It hosts live music every Friday evening, featuring local artists and select performers. Organizer Bill Maakestad also presents a "Final Fridays" concert series there, introducing local artists and raising money for regional causes.
