CHICAGO WINDY CITY RAMBLERS is a 501c3 non-profit organization with a mission to bring second-line culture and brass band education to the youth of Chicagoland. Founded by Chicago’s own Mario Abney who spent 15 formative years living in New Orleans before moving back home to enter the chicago music scene and launch this exciting initiative. A key element of this effort is a brass band led by Abney, consisting of a cast of Chicago’s  best players. “Second-Line Sundays” at FITZGERALDS will fall on (of course) second Sundays beginning May 14th and will include a one hour workshop for young brass musicians, followed by a second-line parade leaving the back gate on Clarence ave,  circling the corner to FITZGERALDS front patio entrance, and ultimately to the patio stage where the kids will perform a song, and WINDY CITY RAMBLERS will then blow the patio away with 2 sets of incredible brass band music. This fundraising party is free to enter, but bring an old instrument to donate and a pocket full of cash for the suggested donation box, 100% of contributions go straight to the Non-Profit Organization.
