The Nov. 20, 2026, show draws on a group-vocal lineage spanning the 1960s and ’70s. The event description positions The Flat Five as current rather than a retro revival; it does not name songs or a supporting act.

All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
Group vocals are the through line in The Flat Five’s Evanston SPACE listing, but the band is not presented as simply reproducing the sound of an earlier era.
The event description points to The Beach Boys, The Byrds, The Mamas & the Papas, Spanky & Our Gang, The Free Design, Dan Hicks & the Hot Licks, Asleep at the Wheel and The Manhattan Transfer as examples from the group-vocal tradition. It places those touchstones in the 1960s and ’70s and across pop, folk, country, rock and jazz.
That breadth gives listeners several reference points for the bill, rather than tying the group-vocal idea to just one of those styles. The names provide musical context; they are not additional performers announced for this show.

No songs, arrangements or supporting act are named. The artist references should not be read as a promise of covers or a preview of the set.
