Shows this week and next

I’ve got a couple of shows to announce— the first one is tomorrow night! I’ll be playing bass with Ricky Liontones as we perform the first Queens of the Stone Age album in its entirety, an homage to the 25th anniversary of the record’s original release. But that’s not all… There will also be a tribute to the Violent Femmes’ eponymous debut on its 40th anniversary, and a big band (!) performance of the Led Zeppelin classic “Houses of the Holy”, in full, by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Players, in celebration of that record’s 50th anniversary. This is all part of Ian’s Classic Albums Night, a regular staple of the vast musical empire that Reggies has created in Chicago. It’s going to be a very full night with a wide variety of styles, so come by at 7 and enjoy the evening!

After some private engagements over the weekend, the next official show to announce is on Wednesday, October 4, at Bookclub. This time, the Ricky Liontones Revue hits the stage with Kansas City rockers The Sounds Of Many, as well as Chicago’s own Lost Pyramids. Shoot me a message if you’re interested in catching this awesome show and I’ll give you the address 🤙

As always, stay tuned for future announcements!

In other news…

Last weekend’s run with the Chicago Tap Theatre was simply amazing. Synesthete was honestly one of the most incredible projects I’ve have the privilege to be a part of, and I really hope that it makes a return someday.

In the meantime, I’ve got a more gigs coming up!

6/16 1PM @ O’Hare Airport

6/16 9PM @ House of Blues

6/30 (Time TBA) @ Irish American Heritage Center

7/1 7PM @ Studio Lockport

For now these are my final performances before a two week vacation in Michigan. I’ll be needing that time off, especially since I’ll be going straight into a Midwest mini-tour afterwards (stay tuned for news on that!)
