Steve Lacy concert at Aragon Ballroom: Details
Lacy, known for being the guitarist of the alternative R&B band the Internet, carved out a space for himself in the music industry with tracks like Bad Habit, and Dark Red, which were well received by fans.
He has two shows at the Aragon Ballroom, one which took place on September 30, and the other slated for October 1. Many people online expressed excitement about attending Lacy's concert.
The Aragon Ballroom is now an event space which first opened its doors in 1926. It is named after a Spanish region, and urban legends claim that there are secret tunnels from a nearby prohibition-era hangout of Al Capone – the Green Mill bar – which leads to the basement of the ballroom.
