Chicago singer/songwriter, Willis Earl Beal will play the Echo on Wednesday, May 2.  His amazing debut album, Acousmatic Sorcery,  just dropped earlier in March and he’s already causing quite a stir in the music world. His booming, soulful voice helped get him signed to Hot Charity–an imprint of powerhouse indie XL (Adele, Vampire Weekend, M.I.A.). Emily Kokal (Warpaint) will be opening up for the classic crooner.  Tickets to the show are $12 in advance, $14 at the door, show starts at 7:30 p.m. and this show is all ages.  Enter the contest below for a chance to win a pair of tickets!
