Sean Boney books BaseCamp Pub in Lisle for Saturday, Nov. 21

An early Saturday show at the Lakeside Drive club, with tickets from $12.50 — here's what to know.

Two Saturdays from now, BaseCamp Pub in Lisle opens its doors early. Sean Boney plays the room on Saturday, Nov. 21, with the show starting at 6 p.m. Tickets run $12.50 to $100 through See Tickets, and the date was announced Oct. 19.

That 6 p.m. start is worth noting first, because it changes the shape of the night. This isn't a show you wander into after dinner; it's one you build the evening around, with plenty of the night left over afterward. For a Saturday the weekend before Thanksgiving, that's a pretty civilized setup — easy for a babysitter, easy for anyone driving in from farther out in DuPage or across the state line from Northwest Indiana.

The ticket range is wide, from $12.50 at the bottom to $100 at the top, so check the See Tickets page before you buy to see what each tier gets you. Go in with the cheapest ticket if you just want to be in the room; look at the upper tiers if you're the kind of fan who wants to be closer to the stage.

We'll be straight with you: Sean Boney isn't an artist we could find much published about ahead of this date, which makes this one a discovery night. That's half the fun of a club like BaseCamp, which holds about 300 and books a mix of touring and regional acts across rock, hip-hop and festival-style bills. A room that size on a Saturday is where you find out about a performer before everyone else does — or where you show up for someone you already know from around the area and bring friends who don't.

BaseCamp sits on Lakeside Drive in Lisle, off the I-88 corridor, with a full bar and kitchen inside and parking in on-site lots and a larger lot across the street, so getting in and out shouldn't be a production. If you're making a night of it, the early start leaves time for food before or after without rushing.

The suburbs have more small rooms than people give them credit for, and the shows in them don't get the attention the city clubs do. This is one of them: a Saturday, a reasonable floor price and an early start. Grab a ticket, get there on time, and decide for yourself.
