Start Your Long Weekend Off Right! What It Is @ Abbey Pub this Friday!!

There’s no better way to kick off a long holiday than with a party—although there may be better ways to get ready for an early morning drive out of town…regardless, you should be at the ABBEY PUB on Friday night for a triumvirate of groovy local music.

Funky Quintet that just got an opening slot for MMW and John Scofield!

A modern organ trio featuring yours truly, guaranteed to make you feel good about waking up late Saturday morning

BOB DYLAN Fans! I work for SonyBMG and have been asked by Columbia Records to shoot video footage for Bob Dylan’s new promo DVD. Columbia is releasing a new Dylan record and would like to have footage of younger fans talking about what Bob Dylan means to them. Ages 16 through 28 only. Filming will take place on Sat. July 22 and Sunday July 23 in the afternoon and will only take a couple minutes per person. If you are interested in participating, please contact me ASAP! Thank you.

I wanted to post a “Thank You” to everyone involved in last week’s Chicago Jams Presents show at Otto’s Niteclub in DeKalb. It was a really great time and thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Thanks to Otto’s for having us. They have great staff and made everything easy. Particular thanks to Alex who worked the sound.

Thanks to the fans that made it out. It was a stormy night, and I know DeKalb is a long drive for a lot of you. It was worth it wasn’t it?

Finally, a huge thank you to all the bands! Obviously, it wouldn’t be possible without you.

Recently, Andy Berg decided to leave ATABA to pursue personal interests and other projects.

At about the same time, the band found a new keyboardist — Matthew “Keyz” Mehawick. If you’ve been following the band for a long time, you may have seen him sitting in before, but now he has joined them as an official member.

All the band’s confirmed shows are still scheduled and the guys are certain that the line-up changes will be a positive step in the long run. They are currently reviewing names for the new group.

We wish Andy the best with whatever he decides to do next. We will be sure to keep you informed of any of Andy’s or the new band’s future projects.

So as it gets closer to that time of year again, I’m sure you’re all asking yoursleves “what will be my big event of the summer” Well Have I got something to fill the void. Check it out Jam fans; Wakarusa, June 17,18,&19 in Lawrence, Kansas. “But whats so good about it?” you ask… well 50+ of your favorite bands (except phish) including Gov’t Mule, SCI, Wilco, STS9, Little Feat, Umphreys McGee, Particle, JMP, Galactic, and a whole heck of a lot more. Well don’t take my word for it, go over and check it out yourself at www.Wakarusa.com

Happy Summer Festing!!

Hey!! I’m pretty new to Chicago, moved up here from Kentucky. Having trouble finding the good local jam band scene. Bands I like include WSP, N. Miss. Allstars, Galactic, Jerry Joseph, Derek Trucks Band, etc. Anything in the same vein around here? Would definately like to see some bands with a great guitarist.

I’m not posting this as Events for a couple reasons. I don’t think of Dylan as a jamband, first of all, although I think he influenced the music a lot. Second, there’s five shows, so it would really clutter up the calendar. Finally, Dylan probably doesn’t need all that much help in promoting himself.

Anyway, Bob Dylan is playing five dates at the Auditorium Theatre with Merle Haggard:

• Friday, April 1
  
• Saturday, April 2
  
• Sunday, April 3
  
• Tuesday, April 5
  
• Wednesday, April 6
  

There is a special WXRT Presale at Ticketmaster that starts at 10:00 a.m. Friday Feb. 18th and will last until 10:00 p.m. or tickets run out. The password for the presale is “chronicles”.
