Scott, Ben, Finn and I went to a crowded-but-authentic Blues Club the other night. It was the weekly open mic night where they piece together bands from the sign-up list, throw them on stage, and let them roll with it. There were some incredibly talented musicians there. I wish I could post a live recording of the music but these pictures will have to do.
Next time you come to Chicago, there’s a street in Lincoln Park near where Caroline is staying with a bunch of blues clubs on it… looks like fun!
“Chicago Blues Fest is a free, internationally acclaimed annual festival that will be held next on June 12 through June 14, 2009. It’s the largest free blues music festival in the world.”
Seriously fun stuff… and it’s around the time of Rachel’s wedding… all the more reason to visit us!!!!
sounds like fun to me!
