Tue 6/26: Next in the queue for Chicago’s free movie screening is Groundhog Day. “Bill Murray plays an obnoxious TV weatherman from Pittsburgh forced to relive the same wintry day in a small Pennsylvania town over and over again until he gets it right, in an unexpectedly graceful and well-organized comedy (1993) directed and cowritten by Harold Ramis,” writes the Reader’s John Rosenbaum. 6:30 PM Pritzker Pavilion, Millennium Park, Michigan and Randolph, free.

Wed 6/27: Tracyanne Campbell works through the death of her Camera Obscura bandmate in a new duo with Danny Coughlan. “Campbell’s honeyed voice is as distinct and indelible as ever, projecting a blend of classic 60s girl-group sound and 50s dream-pop through a modern, Britpop filter,” writes the Reader’s Peter Margasak. 8 PM, Lincoln Hall, 2424 N. Lincoln, $20, 18+.
