Northside Summer Fest


Okay- so we're all a little disappointed (at least you Michiganders and those of us in HD and those that were hitting the road) about the sudden exodus of Kev-a-Roo in Grand Haven, MI- BUT along come other good things.  Well, not really in it's place... it's a few days later but it's gonna be a great day.  We just added ourselves to the Northside Summer Fest in Chicago.  It's on the corner of Lincoln Ave and Irving Park on... the Northside.  We'll be there on August 21st with our old pals Mr. Blotto and the Freddy Jones Band.  It'll prove to be an awesome day of Music no doubt!!!  We just may do some jamming together along the way... who knows.


We've played with both of these Chicago Legends several times.  Just last week I spent an evening with Paul Bolger (Mr. Blotto) doing a house concert... great time.  I think the first time we played with Blotto was in the burbs and I remember being nervous cause they were so cool.  It only took me about 7 years to realize they are just as dorky as we are!!  Love 'em.  They are just off their huge Blottopia Festival- always a great camping/jamming weekend.  


We played with Freddy Jones several times- the first was in Dayton, OH many moons ago.  It was an awesome rock concert for both of us.  We were voted Number 2 in the best band voting on Dayton's campus that year... just behind U2 and in front of Pearl Jam... not bad.  HA.. cracks me up.  


Anyway- it's gonna be a great night of real, live music.  


Rock On- and take 'er easy
