The Chicago Weekend Shows Continued…

by balaspa on April 26th, 2008

Well, Mother Nature has pulled a nice prank on everyone around here.  Last nigh a bunch of really nasty and severe thunderstorms came through and by this morning, the general air temperature had fallen into the 30s.  It went from Spring into Winter within a matter of twelve hours.  You just have to love Springtime in the Midwest, don’t you?

So, as I always say, what better time to go see a show?  It’s nice and warm in the clubs.  Lots of bodies get pressed together.  It’s dark and the music is awesome.  So, thanks go out to WDCB for the following information about jazz and blues shows in and around Chicago for the remainder of the weekend:
