Today the organizers of the Silver Room Block Party announced the full lineup for their 15th blowout. Its three outdoor stages will present the likes of foundational Chicago hip-hop producer the Twilite Tone, classic-house veteran Ron Trent, hip-hop icon Bobbito Garcia (of beloved 90s New York radio program The Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Show), and singular singer, producer, and polymath Georgia Ann Muldrow. Eight indoor venues, including the Silver Room and the Promontory, will also play host to live performances. The Silver Room Block Party takes place Saturday, July 21, in Hyde Park, and this year it includes movies too—the Harper Theater will screen five of them, including the Chicago premiere of Garcia’s autobiographical documentary, Rock Rubber 45s. The fest has even organized a series of basketball events, including a three-point drill run by former Chicago Bull Craig Hodges and an exhibition game with Garcia.
