Ticket price DOES NOT include food and drink.Frank Viele’s brand of New England blues rock tugs at the heartstrings, pulling the listener on a surprise journey that transcends genre. Yet even as he’s racked up accolades over the past 7 years — including New England Music Awards for Album of the Year, Male Performer of the Year, Songwriter of The Year (X2), and Live Act of The Year for gutsy, gritty tracks like “Broken Love Song” and “‘Til The Bourbon’s All Gone” — he’s rarely paused to savor the moment before moving on to yet another tour, album, or collaboration. It wasn’t until the pandemic hit in early 2020 and he was forced to hunker down that Viele realized that time itself was the world’s most precarious, yet precious, resource. At that time, Viele embarked on a writing-and-recording journey with Jimmy Nutt (Jason Isbell, American Aquarium, The Dead South) and James LeBlanc (Travis Tritt, Will Hoge, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Dylan LeBlanc, Kid Rock, Rascal Flatts) of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Within this co-writing collaborative partnership, Viele approached each new song slowly, intentionally, and with an open mind, challenging himself to transcend the limits of genre and industry expectations.With his keenly observant lyrics and blend of dynamic guitar and piano work, Chicago-based singer-songwriter Joe Gorka has made a name for himself in the Midwest music scene. He has played such well-loved Chicago rooms such as Schubas Tavern, City Winery, and Uncommon Ground, along with venues and festivals across the region. 2025 saw the release of his debut solo acoustic EP "Evergreen", as well as increasing national attention with his selection to the 2025 "Emerging Artist" showcase at Connecticut's Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. As of 2026 he is playing shows across the country at respected listening rooms like Godfrey Daniels and Club Passim, while completing the production of his debut full-length album. The first single from this album, titled “The Siren Song”, is out now. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/frank-viele-and-joe-gorka/100001996318051030 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Music, Entertainment, Festivals, Art, performances - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - door_time: 2026-10-18T00:30:00Z - Duration: 2 hours - Location: UncommonGround - Lakeview - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 17.85, max: 17.85, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Chicago - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: UncommonGround - Lakeview - **lat**: 41.95119099999999 - **long**: -87.65986 - **full address**: UncommonGround - Lakeview, 3800 North Clark Street, Chicago, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Frank Viele and Joe Gorka - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/5b2aa8cac145246e8cd9b11d101b0332b9657f218f3a04a69793137c06f6a4f9-rimg-w768-h512-dc0808f8-gmir.jpg?v=1785677468 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Frank Viele and Joe Gorka being held? - **A:** Frank Viele and Joe Gorka takes place on Sat, 17 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Sat, 17 Oct, 2026 at 10:00 pm at UncommonGround - Lakeview, 3800 North Clark Street, Chicago, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Frank Viele and Joe Gorka? - **A:** Frank Viele and Joe Gorka is organized by Uncommon Ground. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
