Hard Rock Hotel Chicago and Gibson Guitar introduce “CHECK IN, ROCK OUT,” a new guest program in which both professionals and amateurs can jam in the privacy of their own room without disturbing those around them, thanks to the Line 6 pocket pod and a pair of headphones. Guests can choose from a wide variety of electric and acoustic guitars, such as the ES-335, Les Paul Custom Cherry Sunburst, the all-new SG Carved Top Autumn Burst, a Jack Casady Gold Bass, a Montana J-45, a Songwriter Deluxe Studio EC, the classic Hummingbird or a variety of many others.
As there is no charge or time limit to the program, guests are encouraged to sample the guitars and keep them for as long as they stay at the hotel. Plans are in the works for a Gibson in-room channel dedicated to guitar lessons, as well as on-site jam sessions.

As lead singer for The Who, Daltrey’s lent his Olympian pipes to a staggering array of enduring rock ‘n’ roll anthems. And, with plans for the band’s next tour still up in the air, Daltrey decided a solo jaunt – his first since 1985 – would be just the thing “to keep my voice in trim, so I’ll be ready,” he explains. “Those songs demand a lot of voice!”
The legendary singer promises a healthy serving of Who songs, solo material – including some songs he’s never played live – and covers that pay tribute to his influences and admired contemporaries.
Tickets cost $85, $70, $55 & $45*; all seats are reserved and available at the Hard Rock Live Box Office, open Monday – Saturday from noon to 7pm and on Sunday – only open on event days at noon.
