Maple Street Chapel, 200 S Main St, Lombard, IL, 60148

Chicago-area folk/indie singer-songwriters Gia Dagenhart and Heather Styka will co-headline on Saturday, September 26 at 7:00pm at the historic Maple Street Chapel, 200 S Main Street in Lombard, IL. Tickets are $20.
Gia Dagenhart of Lombard, a Glenbard East alum and recent graduate of Lawrence University (Appleton, Wisconsin), is a brilliant, young performer with dynamic vocals. Gia released her first recording titled “Artifact” in October of 2025; it showcases prismatic snapshots, lush poetry, and cultivated sophistication. At live performances, Dagenhart's easy confidence, warmth, and wit engage audiences and leave them buzzing.
Heather Styka of Chicago, an established touring artist and award-winning songwriter, delivers performances that are as intimate and candid as a late-night conversation, peppered with humor, confession, and a disarming honesty. Styka's songs are lyrics-forward and “make you feel as if you are peeking into her diary” (No Depression) with a “talent for telling stories and connecting emotionally” (Glide Magazine). This is a rare solo show for Heather as her recent passion is SELKEN, her band project. SELKEN's debut album, “The Winds,” pairs Styka's two decades of song craft with shimmering synths, ambient textures, and a groove-forward pulse.
DJ Lilli Kuzma, of “Folk Festival” on WDCB 90.9fm Public Radio, will guest emcee this special show.
Doors open at 6:30pm. For tickets and information, visit&nbsp;<a href="https://maplestreetconcerts.org/;" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">maplestreetconcerts.org/. </a>Tickets available at the door with cash or check only. (Photo:&nbsp;Dagenhart on left, Styka on right)

Grab your friends and head to Downtown Downers Grove on Thursday, September 24, for Ladies Day &amp; Night Out: Schools Just Wanna Have Funds, a full day of shopping, dining and fun with the bonus of supporting local elementary school PTAs!
Throughout the day and evening, 30 participating Downtown Downers Grove businesses will offer specials, promotions, live music, fun and more. Shoppers and diners can turn in a Hall Pass with their purchases, and participating businesses will donate 10% of each Hall Pass purchase to Downers Grove elementary school PTAs.
The donations will be divided evenly among participating schools, but there’s a little friendly competition, too!
The school with the highest attendance will receive an additional $250 donation, while the second- and third-place schools will each receive $100 in Downtown Downers Grove Gift Cards.
Every person counts toward attendance, and every qualifying purchase helps increase the donation. Participants are encouraged to invite friends, grandparents, spouses, neighbors and anyone else who wants to enjoy a day &amp; evening downtown while supporting local schools.
This event is a great example of what supporting local is all about. You are supporting our downtown businesses while those businesses, in turn, are giving back to our local schools. It’s a fun day with a real community impact.
Participants should remember to turn in a Hall Pass with each purchase to ensure the purchase counts toward the fundraiser and their school’s attendance.
Whether stopping downtown for lunch, meeting friends for shopping, enjoying dinner or making an entire day of it, Ladies Day &amp; Night Out: Schools Just Wanna Have Funds offers plenty of reasons to shop, dine and explore Downtown Downers Grove.
For participating businesses, Hall Passes and additional event information, visit downtowndg.org.
