April 26--Don't look now, but Taste of Chicago has yet another strong main stage music lineup for its 36th annual edition. The gustatory blowout, which runs July 6 -- 10 in Grant Park, has been upping its sonic game of late. This year continues the trend, even as there is a little bit of "Um, OK ... " mixed in with the cool.

July 6 features The Roots, with Donnie Trumpet
July 7: Kongos, with Elle King, Transviolet
July 8: The Decemberists, with Shakey Graves
