Variety Playhouse hosts an all-ages performance featuring Russian Circles with Pelican. The Chicago-based instrumental trio of Mike Sullivan, Dave Turncrantz, and Brian Cook has spent more than two decades shaping a distinct sound that folds together influences from Midwest Touch & Go alumni, classic progressive rock, hypnotic motorik and kosmische pulses, and the harsher edges of metal.
