This is going to be quite an event!
Tickets will go on sale to the public this Saturday, December 19th, which is the same day I’ll be playing an acoustic cancer benefit show at Reggie’s in Chicago.  Who knows, we may even give away some tickets at the acoustic show, so if you were holding out on going THIS MAY CHANGE YOUR MIND.
Hopefully I’ll see you Saturday, which will also be the 50th Saturday Night Music Club!  More exciting news will be revealed this week so stay tune friends and foes.
