Macy's Day of Music, Tortoise October 13, 2007

This indoor music festival attracts more than 12,000 music lovers each year, showcasing approximately 25 of Chicago's best musicians who represent genres including classical, jazz, folk and world music as well as a generous offering of family entertainment.

The Chicago based Tortoise revolutionized American indie rock in the mid-'90s by playing down tried-and-true punk and rock 'n' roll influences, emphasizing instead the incorporation of a variety of left-field music genres from the past 20 years, including Krautrock, dub, avant-garde jazz, classical minimalism, ambient and space music, film music and British electronica.
