Chicago Festivalgoers Explore the Latest Roland and BOSS Music Gear<\/h2>\n

\"CIMMfest_Marquee\"<\/p>\n

The Roland\/BOSS spring gear tour recently landed in Chicago, where we teamed up with CIMMfest (the Chicago International Music &\u00a0Movies Festival), a popular annual event that just celebrated its eighth year. During CIMMcon, the festival\u2019s regional industry conference, we hosted an interactive musical instrument display within Galerie F, Chicago\u2019s first street art and gig poster gallery. Located at the heart of the festival in Chicago\u2019s historic Logan Square neighborhood, our display offered visitors a unique, hands-on opportunity to make music and interact with the latest Roland and BOSS instruments.<\/p>\n

Roland and BOSS at Galerie F<\/h2>\n
\"Roland<\/a>

The Roland\/BOSS display at CIMMfest 2016 was located within Galerie F in Chicago’s historic Logan Square neighborhood.<\/p><\/div>\n

At Galerie F<\/a>, a wide variety of the latest Roland and BOSS gear were\u00a0set up\u00a0for musicians to jam on, including V-Drums<\/a>, AIRA<\/a>\u00a0instruments, Roland synths<\/a>, BOSS pedals<\/a> and guitar synths<\/a>, and more. Our product specialist team was also on site to answer questions and provide hands-on instruction.<\/p>\n

Roland\u2019s CIMMcon instrument gallery was\u00a0the third leg of\u00a0the Roland\/BOSS spring gear tour, following the Southwest Invasion VIP Lounge<\/a> at SXSW and the backstage artist lounge during the Academy of Country Music\u2019s ACM Party for a Cause Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Smart Studios Story<\/em><\/h2>\n

\"Smart-Studios\"<\/a>The festival also\u00a0featured\u00a0the Chicago premiere of The Smart Studios Story<\/a><\/em> at a special opening-night screening. Written and directed by Wendy Schneider, the film is a documentary about Butch Vig and Steve Marker\u2019s legendary recording studio in Madison, Wisconsin, where the Smashing Pumpkins’ Gish<\/em>, Death Cab for Cutie’s Plans<\/em>, and tracks from Nirvana’s Nevermind<\/em> were recorded. A special after-party at the Metro followed the screening, which featured a reunion of \u201890s alternative rockers Catherine.<\/p>\n

Roland also attended The Smart Studios Story<\/em> launch party in Burbank, CA, in February. Check out photos of that event at our Flickr gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n
