Our Musical Journey

Since opening our doors, High Ho Gems has become more than just a crystal shop—we've evolved into a vibrant community gathering space where music, healing, and connection intertwine.

The High Ho Gems Concert Experience

What makes our concerts special isn't just the music—it's the atmosphere.

Looking Ahead to 2026

As we move into 2026, we're excited to expand our musical offerings while maintaining the intimate, community-focused experience that makes High Ho Gems concerts so special. The addition of a farm venue will allow us to host larger gatherings, outdoor festivals, and multi-band events while keeping the heart and soul of what we do: bringing people together through music, healing, and shared experience.

From Manteno to Tinley Park to Mokena, and now expanding to a beautiful farm setting—our journey continues to grow, and we invite you to be part of it.
