In keeping with the new directions initiated by the owner,I'm happy to report that on Thursday,January 10,2008,Chicago's presents "The Stables",(featuring three singer/songwriter/instrumentalists, Po'Pelly,Blind Billy Blasko and Darren"Choo Choo" Clarke),from 8 p.m. to midnight.Well-travelled and well-known from his previous band,the now legendary "Kent Boys",Pelly has a assembled a new group that brings their special blend of acoustic-country-roots-punk to a new audience and on a soon-to-be released CD by "Keeping it simple and telling a story".I'm going to make a point of experiencing this"high-energy sonic hoedown" and so should all of you. From what so many people have described to me and what I've heard at http://www.myspace.com/herecomethestables , I think too many of us have been missing out on too much for too long.I promise you a full review and video(if I'm allowed) from these guys.Guaranteed.......See you there!!!
I'll I have to admit that the large majority of live music in Oshawa usually goes unheard and unnoticed by me,not really by choice,but due mainly to a lack of the funds and the mobility to attend the various excellent venues this town has to offer.Also,living across the street from Chicago's and it's high quality blues and jazz offerings,especially on Friday's(and of course Tuesday's), makes my decision to go out a no-brainer, which also suits me perfectly.
2008 brings in a fresh attitude towards live music at Chicago's and you will notice two important changes.One,although blues and jazz remains the focus on Friday Blues Night,Sunday afternoons with Terry B and Frank Zee and the monthly "Big Wind Band"Wednesday's and "Brian Rose Little Big Band"Thursday jazz sessions,the rest of the week will be much more musically varied than in the past.Two,there will be a focus on showcasing the wealth of local musicians in the Durham Region who,in addition to the Tuesday Acoustic Jam, will finally be given another stage night(Thursday), to share their talent with new appreciative audiences.I sincerely hope and strongly urge everyone to attend on these nights as often as possible to enjoy these groups and keep live music strong and alive at Chicago's and wherever else they may play,as not only do they so richly deserve it,but I'm sure you will be rewarded with an evening of first-class entertainment and enjoyment...........
