What a lunch break! Today marked the kickoff of the Chicago farmers markets in Daley Plaza and there was no better way to celebrate than with a free set by folk superstars Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros.

Fans that may have missed out on tickets to tonight’s sold out XRT Show had this extra opportunity to catch these folkers who haven’t played in our home(town) since the DMB Caravan last summer.

This afternoon, the troupe played a tantalizing thirty minute set that included past hits, “40 Day Dream”, “Home”, and new song “That’s What’s Up” found on their most recent record, Here, due out this coming Tuesday.
