A couple of Sundays ago we went to see the band Girlyman at the Old Town School of Folk Music, with our friends Jude and Pam who were in visiting from Milwaukee. (Check out a sampling of their music here.) Girlyman is a trio of accomplished musicians who also happen to be hysterically funny. The OTS is a great venue for seeing live music. (For Athens friends: it's even more intimate than Stuart's Opera House!) And it was great to see our friends from our old neighborhood in Milwaukee. We plan to meet up with them for a Cubs game later this summer.
Speaking of musical performances, I forgot to blog the performance of my Women's Acoustic Group at Bill's Blues in Evanston (the home of Northwestern University, just north of the city proper). We all braved the weather one super cold Thursday in late February to play a 7 song set at this friendly club that stages primarily folk and blues performers. Not too many things are better than the thrill of being on stage and performing -- especially in front of such an enthusiastic audience. Hope we'll be able to get another performance in before the end of the summer! (I'm second from the left in the shot above.)
