Benjamin Tod and Lost Dog Street Band BIO

With Lost Dog Street Band, he has built a following around raw vocals, acoustic arrangements, and lyrics that often explore hardship, resilience, and life on the margins. The group's stripped-back sound gives its performances an intimate, unvarnished character.

Venue and Seating Information
Thalia Hall is a restored 1892 opera house in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood. Its main ballroom can accommodate approximately 1,600 guests standing, with configurations that may include general-admission floor space, box seating, and balcony sections. The historic architecture, intimate atmosphere, and acoustics make the venue a distinctive setting for live music.
For a close-up view and the energy of the crowd, the general-admission floor is the central option when a show uses a standing configuration; arriving early can help guests choose a preferred spot. Box seating and the balcony offer elevated perspectives, though availability and sightlines depend on the event layout. Seating arrangements may vary, so consult the event's specific details before attending.

Street parking around Thalia Hall is very limited, and many nearby spaces are subject to residential permit restrictions. The venue information recommends planning ahead rather than relying on finding a spot on arrival.
