Chris Connelly & Matt Walker are both 30+ year veterans of music, having both played and recorded with Ministry, Revolting Cocks and Killing Joke. As lifelong fans of DAVID BOWIE, they recently put together a band dedicated to playing his music, and that's what SONS OF THE SILENT AGE is, a band made up of 9 incredible Chicago based musicians with a staggering set of songs cherry picked from Bowie's vast & astounding body of work stretching back 40 years.

The Flatlanders

Tickets: $40 general admission
In January 1972 a newly formed grassroots band The Flatlanders (comprised of the nucleus of Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock) travelled to Tommy Allsup s Odessa, TX studio at the urging of a local radio DJ. The 14 songs recorded on reel-to-reel tape arguably marked the birth of alternative country music. In celebration of their 40th anniversary together, the esteemed founding fathers of Americana will release a collection of these recordings as The Odessa Tapes via New West Records.
Thought lost for nearly 4 decades, The Odessa Tapes pristine recordings capture without any polish the special blend of country, folk, roots and cosmic energy The Flatlanders pioneered. A DVD featuring a candid new interview with The Flatlanders discussing the myths of the early days of their career and booklet with unreleased archival photos will round out this deluxe package. Limited edition 180-gram vinyl will also be available for the audio portion of the release.

Grammy Award winner James "Superharp" Cotton makes much anticipated Mayne Stage debut this Spring. Inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2006, the Smithsonian Institute in 1991, and winner of countless W.C. Handy Blues Awards, he has shared the stage with B.B. King, The Rolling Stones, Johnny Winter, the Allman Brothers, Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, Sam and Dave, The Grateful Dead among many others.
In 1954 when Muddy Waters needed a harmonica player, he found Cotton playing a club in Arkansas and took him to Chicago. Cotton remained with Waters for 12 years not only playing shows but also recording with him on Chess Records. One of the highlights of that period came when Cotton arranged the ever-popular anthem for the blues, "Got My Mojo Workin', " which was played for the first time by the Muddy Waters Band at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1961.
In 1966 Cotton formed his James Cotton Blues Band which continues to showcase his immense talent and keeps him one of the most sought-after, hard-driving, seminal blues musicians touring the world today.

You should get rid of your Everyblock link Bill. They are dead.
The Lincoln Lodge event should be good.
The everyblock link is now gone. Have to keep it current around here.
Appreciate the comments.
