Good morning, friends. While I'm still trying to process my Epic Mumford Roadtrip, have a list of great shows coming up this week. The list's a little overwhelming to me right now, as I weigh my need for sleep against my need for More Live Music.

It's no surprise that I'm a big fan of the Chicago Roots Collective, which is now entering its second year of life here in the city. The Collective is made up of ten local bands, has put on 30 shows over the past year, and has a monthly showcase at one of my favorite venues, Lincoln Hall.
