Beatnik Turtle will be live giggin’ at Sylvie’s – 1902 W Irving Park Rd. Chicago, IL on August 15th (this Saturday). I’m guessing things should start around 8-ish, so show up at start drinking at 7 just to be sure. (Yeah, Silvie’s is always an over 21 show) Admission: $5

Hey all, long time no Blog. But we have something newsworthy… A Beatnik Turtle Away Team is being assembled to beam down to Mahoney’s (551 Ogden Ave. Chicago, IL) at 8:30pm, Thursday, May 14, 2009. The team will encounter Silvergirl and Absinthe & The Dirty Floors while playing songs from each of their 2009 RPM Challenge albums and more. Accompanying the BT Away Team, from the band Fourth Half, will be Dave Siegel on drums and Marc Ilsanto on rhythm guitar.

Be there or kindly be square.

I will be playing a 20-30 minute set of Beatnik Turtle songs tonight at The Acoustic Showcase at Sylvie’s Lounge, 1902 W. Irving Park in Chicago. John Kuczaj of Atomic Shop booked seven of us Bad Dog Tavern open mic regulars to play tonight. The music starts at 8:30pm.

Also performing will be Bernie Navarro and his good friend Mike Hernandez. Bernie plays a mean uke and Mike, if you’re familiar with the name, is a Beatnik Turtle alumnus, having played bass on our first four albums.

As for my set , it’s just me. And my guitar. Just like the Wednesday night open mic! It should be fun…
