JOAN BAEZ performing
 

Any folk icon worth her salt can't resist hitting the road and taking the stage in these politically charged weeks before the election. In addition to all the old favorites, JOAN BAEZ will be playing selections from her new CD, Dark Chords on a Big Guitar, which features songs written by artists born after Baez's 1960's heyday, including Natalie Merchant and Ryan Adams. Expect some political commentary from the stage of the Center for Performing Arts at Governors State University. Tickets range from $43 to $52. Oct. 16, 2004 at 8:00 p.m. Governors Highway and University Parkway, off I-57, University Park. 708-235-2222,
