For the last few years, Phyllis’ has been the venue of choice for Chris Darby’s bimonthly songwriter showcase, which began in his Logan Square apartment in 2004. Although Darby is leaving Chicago in mid-July for a ten month tour across the country, there’ll be an encore for his songwriter series: a three day Songwriter Festival at Phyllis’ Musical Inn, which takes place on July 7, 9, and 10.
