I thought it would be a good idea to share information about upcoming gigs that Illinois Mando Maniacs members are playing. If you have an upcoming gig, please share it with the group. If you are a member or a lurker and live nearby stop by, if you can, to support your local mando players. I'll start. I'm playing with the Wild Onion String Band 8/8/2009 (tomorrow) around 10 AM at the North Center Farmer's Market in Chicago. Here are some details about the location and the Farmer's market: The North Center Farmers' Market is located in the North Center Town Square at 4100 N. Damen Ave. in Chicago. It's in the little triangle between Damen, Lincoln, and Belle Plaine Ave., right across from the CVS Pharmacy. We'll play around 10, but the market itself runs from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. Wild Onion String Band on MySpace -> http://www.myspace.com/wildonionstringband Thanks for listening, Paul.
