Every Thursday

Introducing Community THURSDAZE

A weekly, open-format series built by and for the community, hosted at Durty Nellie’s a massive venue with four unique spaces, room for 30+ vendors, a rooftop patio, and space for 500+ people to vibe, move, and connect.

We’re picking our lineups weekly from community submissions - giving local DJs, visual artists, performers, and makers the stage they deserve. Shows are affordable, vendor spots are accessible, and the atmosphere is built on creativity, not competition.

FREE UNTIL 8PM!

This is your space.

Bring your skills, your passion, your weird, your wonder.

Let’s build something unforgettable — together.

Howard & the White Boys

Saturday September 20th

Chicago, a city steeped in blues history, is where the band have honed their chops since their inception in 1988. Howard & the White Boys have established a reputation as one of the city’s favorite attractions.

Howard & the White Boys formed in 1988 and began jamming together just for fun, but their fast-growing popularity soon convinced them they could make a career of it. After only a few months, they got their first big break by opening for B.B. King. Their reputation grew in Chicago and they began performing with the biggest names in blues: Koko Taylor, Otis Rush, Albert King, Junior Wells, Lonnie Brooks, Luther Allison, Bo Diddley, and Chuck Berry.
