The State of Sound is a one-of-a-kind exhibit, which showcases the achievements and contributions of Illinois’ finest in music. And the presentation, itself, is written by award-winning author, documentary-producer and former Chicago Sun-Times Columnist and Critic, Dave Hoekstra.
This truly moving, totally local tribute is produced by the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum and hosted in the 3,000-square-foot Illinois Gallery.
