In tandem with their book release, Cat and Nat are hitting the road to tell never-before-told stories about the stress, guilt, joy, and laundry (oh the laundry!) of being a mom.

o Brutal honesty about motherhood – we get into all the mom confessions that no one ever talks about
o Shenanigans (we can’t really define what this is, you just have to be there to find out)
o New friends. Come alone, or come with 20 other people, but we guarantee you’ll walk away with a community of women who have your back through the everyday gong show that is our life.
CATHERINE BELKNAP and NATALIE TELFER have been friends since they were teens, and now their video series “#MOMTRUTHS” which shares everything from toddler tantrums to sex, has turned them into viral sensations and…wait for it….authors! With seven kids between them and millions of fans on social media, they get real about the parts of parenting that somehow don’t make the Instagram feed. Find them online at https://www.catandnat.ca.

May 17, 2019 (Joliet, IL) Rialto Square Theatre and 87.7 MeTV-FM present Woodstock: 50 Years of Music, Memories, & Me, a listener party and concert celebrating the 50th anniversary of Woodstock.

50 years ago this summer, a sleepy dairy farm tucked away in the Catskill Mountains of New York played host to a seminal moment in the history of Rock & Roll. Billed as An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music…Woodstock (as it would forever be known) became the definitive nexus of the counterculture generation.
Return to that moment when a generation found its voice as 87.7 MeTV-FM celebrates Woodstock: 50 Years of Music, Memories & Me. You’ll feel what it was like to be on-stage at the iconic festival as official Woodstock photographer Baron Wolman takes you on a musical and psychedelic journey back in time. Through his lens, the world would understand what happened both on-stage and off. How a generation of kids came together and grew up over the course of a weekend. It was historic and Baron Wolman saw it all.
But Woodstock is synonymous with great music. Great Moments in Vinyl, led by Chicago radio veteran Bill Cochran, takes the tribute experience to a new level. The band will also bring first-person perspective of Woodstock and share stories about the songs and the artists and the times that brought them into being.
It’s a night of the music of Woodstock with stories told by those who lived it.
A limited number of VIP ticket will include a premium seat, a copy of Baron Wolman’s book “Celebrating Woodstock”, a meet & greet with Baron Wolman (including autograph session), and complimentary beer, wine, soda and light appetizers.
