Chicago transplants The Lark and the Loon are a sweet-voiced, married, songwriting duo, Rocky Steen-Rolfzen and Jeff Rolfzen, who recorded a Eureka-European-style album earlier this year and are showcasing cuts at Brews on Saturday. Touring frequently, their songs are imbued with a traveler’s keen eye for detail and emotions as deep as the miles they cover. Sea shanties, Irish jigs, blues, rags, and old-timey music – that’s their signature.
The annual Volkswagen Parade pushes Bugs and Things through downtown Saturday at 3 p.m.
