Schweikher House Preservation Trust

Fox Crossing Stringband, a local bluegrass band, will perform a blend of original bluegrass as well as renditions of legendary country, roots and soul tunes on the grounds of the historic Schweikher House.
Fox Crossing Stringband is based out of Chicago, IL where in 2016, Despina Pafralides championed the idea for an all-female bluegrass band to her friend, Allison Branch, whom she played with in a local country band. They connected with Cassie Wright, a banjo and dobro player, to provide a true bluegrass sound.
In 2019, they released their debut album 'Box of Memories' blending both original songwriting and bringing bluegrass stylings to popular tunes.
They released their second full-length studio album “Bluegrass on My Mind“ in September 2022, and a foxy pop cover EP entitled “Bluegrass Prom” in 2023.
Guests may bring chairs, blankets, coolers (BYOB) &amp; snacks to the historic Schweikher House in Schaumburg and enjoy a Friday night concert on the lawn. Please arrive between 5:00 pm - 5:30pm, explore the grounds, set up chairs and blankets, enjoy a beverage, and enjoy the live, in-person music beginning at 5:30pm.
