ECPA brings Plain White T's home
Grammy-nominated hometown favorites return to Willowbrook High School

ELMHURST, IL – The Encore Center for Performing Arts (ECPA) will welcome the multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated band Plain White T’s for its exclusive “Intimate” series — a one-of-a-kind experience designed to bring fans closer to the music and the artists who create it.
Hailing from Villa Park, Illinois, frontman Tom Higgenson, along with bandmates Tim G. Lopez, Mike Retondo, and De’Mar Randell Hamilton, will take the stage in the Doris E. White Auditorium at their alma mater, Willowbrook High School, for an unforgettable night of storytelling and stripped-down performances. In true “Intimate” fashion, guests will hear the heartfelt stories behind their biggest hits — including the chart-topping anthem “Hey There Delilah,” the charming “1, 2, 3, 4,” and the feel-good favorite “Rhythm of Love” — along with other fan-loved tracks from their celebrated catalog. The evening will conclude with an open Q&A, giving attendees the rare opportunity to connect directly with the band and ask burning questions in a relaxed, up-close setting.
This programming is made possible with the generous support of the DuPage County Small Non-Profit APRA Program.
