7/2/09 Chicago Tap Theatre – Chicago Tap Theatre is a non-profit 501(c)3 with a multifaceted mission: to preserve America’s indigenous dance form, to promote that dance through story-based shows and innovative presentation, to educate the community and make tap dance accessible to a broad spectrum of people and to foster relationships with other arts organizations. http://www.chicagotaptheatre.com/
7/9/09 The Blue Ribbon Glee Club – Monica Kendrick of the Chicago Reader describes the Blue Ribbon Glee Club as “a largely a cappella ensemble, its membership drawn mostly from local indie bands, and its repertoire consists of high-school glee-club nonstandards like the Clash’s “Spanish Bombs,” the Dead Kennedys’ “California Uber Alles,” and Sleater-Kinney’s “Words and Guitar,” accompanied by no more than drums, tambourines, or maybe a bass guitar—usually there’s a healthy contingent singing the main riff instead of the words. The performances are enthusiastically, charmingly amateur, and the overall effect is akin to having a troop of carolers show up at your door singing songs you actually like.” http://www.blueribbongleeclub.org/
7/16/09 Stealth Like a Canoe – Nicolette and Adam met six years ago and formed Stealth Like A Canoe in the spring of 2008. Knowing each other so well influences their music and creates a playful and intimate rapport on stage, where they share vocals, and switch off on guitar, accordion and keyboard. Their style is an amalgamation of indie, acoustic and blues and their songs range from upbeat dorkiness to melancholic and nostalgic ballads of love lost. http://www.stealthlikeacanoe.com/
7/23/09 TBA – We’re not sure who it will be but it’s going To Be Awesome.
