This week on Windy City Irish Radio, Mike Shevlin and Tim Taylor strongly suggest that you tip your bartenders and SUPPORT LIVE MUSIC!
As the St. Patrick's Day Season begins, we are all the beneficiaries of an embarrassment of musical riches with sessions all over the city at pubs such as Johnny O'Hagan's and The Abbey Pub as well as live touring acts at clubs all over town.
Upcoming shows that we preview this week:
Scythian with The Chancey Brothers at BallyDoyle Downers Grove in Downers Grove this Saturday
Wolfe Tones Official Fan Page and The Abbey Pub and Chicago Gaelic Park this Friday and Saturday.
Kevin Flynn & The Avondale Ramblers and The Tossers at Cabaret Metro March 7 and Kevin and the band again at the Abbey Pub March 14th.
Michael A. McDermott at The City Winery Chicago March 13th.
Dervish on March 8th and Altan on March 13th at The Old Town School of Folk Music.
Solas at Elgin Community College for the Arts on March 14th.
Carbon Leaf on March 29th at Lincoln Hall Chicago
Not to mention the 16th Annual Chicago Irish Film Festival starting this weekend, February 27th. Lots to do!
