June 24, 2023 Artist:

Summer League is a fresh and exciting band from Nashville, TN, that self-identifies as a "sophisti-pop" band. This is because they may seem like any typical indie-pop/rock band on the surface, but - if you listen closer - you can hear that they implement elements of jazz and funk into their music as well.

The Bitter Jester Music Festival is proud to have First Bank of Highland Park as it’s Prize Money Title Sponsor for our Grand Finale Concert the following day, June 25, where one lucky 2023 Finalist will be selected to open for a National Headliner at Ravinia in 2024!
