The Original Mother’s will kick off the weekend on Thursday nights with Dueling Pianos consisting of two grand pianos and charismatic entertainers behind the keys. The Original Mother’s pianists will perform audience-requested songs throughout the night, battling back and forth while delivering a high-octane live music experience.

The new format is set up for audience interaction and is sure to provide a captivating and electrifying live music experience for both locals and out-of-towners alike.
“For decades, The Original Mother’s has been referred to as Chicago’s ‘original home of performance,’” said President and CEO of Lodge Management Group Lyn McKeaney. “The people of Chicago love live shows, and we couldn’t be more excited to be back to doing what we do best at Mother’s.”
Founded in 1968, Mother’s has cemented itself as an iconic nightclub and live music venue that has seen some of the most influential bands of the 60’s and 70’s on its stage including Cream, The Velvet Underground, Chicago, The Mekons, and other milestone bands. Mother’s was also one of the original venues to host house music artists, and has also been featured in several movies including the 1986 classic, “About Last Night,” with Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, and Jim Belushi. In recent years, Mother’s celebrated its 50-year anniversary with an “I Love the 90’s Tour” featuring artists Vanilla Ice, Rob Base, Young MC, and Tone Loc.
