Purebred Stems

Head out to Silverado bar and grill in Elmhurst on Wednesday, Nov. 25, and give thanks for an evening of rock and roll kicking off at 9 p.m. with The Purebred Stems.

The Elmhurst-based musicians report that after having rocked many a person over the past year, they are triumphantly returning to Silverado equipped with their own distinct brand of stripped down, grease-gun, rock and roll in a fight against hunger.

This year, The Purebred Stems, in conjunction with the UCCA and Silverado, will collect nonperishable foods for donation. The first 100 people to enter Silverado bearing a nonperishable or canned food item will receive a limited edition Purebred Stems print by local artist Mark A. Metzger (markametzger.com).

UCCA stands for United Community Concerns Association, a local organization that provides food certificates for Elmhurst families. Last year, the group helped feed 240 families, and this year is projected to assist more than 260 families.

Silverado Grill is at 447 Spring Road. For details, call the restaurant and bar at (630) 833-1602.
