I’ll be at SPACE tonight for Communion Music’s big US tour.  And I’m thinking about trying to figure out a way to make it out to Berwyn to see the Blind Boys of Alabama.  It’ll be a heck of a road trip-via-public transportation, that’s for sure. Monday, October 31 Matthew and the Atlas, The David […]

I’ll be at Lincoln Hall to catch the Old 97’s tonight. They’re one of those bands who I always seem to miss when they come into town. No more! And while I probably won’t be able to make it, everyone else should go to the Timber Timbre/Marissa Nadler show on Thursday. I don’t know much […]
