Cornerstones of Rock to bring music of 60s to Egyptian Theatre in DeKalb

Cornerstones of Rock will celebrate the music of the 1960s in a high energy show Sunday, May 18 at the Egyptian Theatre in downtown DeKalb.

The show, back by popular demand, will celebrate the early days of the vibrant Chicago rock scene with the original artists who helped shape its unforgettable sound.

Cornerstones of Rock will include legendary performers The Ides of March featuring Jim Peterik, The Buckinghams, Cryan’ Shames and New Colony Six.

These iconic groups will bring their classic hits to life on stage, performing songs that defined an era, including “Vehicle,” “Kind of a Drag,” “Sugar and Spice” and “I Will Always Think About You.”
