CANASTA @ Simon's (This Sun., Free) + Champaign, IL (Sat. 8/14) + Lincoln Hall (Fri. 8/20)!

(sent on 2010-07-30)

Did somebody say "shows"?!?

TWO FREE SHOWS: THIS SUN. 8/1 (SIMON'S) + NEXT WED. 8/4 ("THE HIGHWOOD FAMERS MARKET")
This Sunday marks Canasta's sixth and final, free show at Simon's Tavern in Andersonville. It's been an amazing run, but the management is finally pulling the plug on the overly generous monetary deal they've long been paying bands. If you've ever been to one of our Simon's shows in the past, you know that it gets sweatier and crazier than just about any other gig we'll do all year. So come on out and see us play not one, but two 60 min. sets, at 9 and 10:30 PM. And hey, if you can't make it out for that one... or if you live north of the city... consider joining us for "The Highwood Evening Gourmet Farmers Market," next Wed. 8/4 at Highwood City Hall. It's yet another free show and again, we're doing two hour-long sets... one at 5 PM and another at 7. So I don't wanna hear any complaining about live music performances being too short nor too expensive! (I could swear I've heard someone say something along those lines once before.)

TWO SHOWS W/ ELSINORE: SAT. 8/14 (OUR CHAMPAIGN, IL DEBUT!) + FRI. 8/20 (LINCOLN HALL)
Elsinore is a fantastic indie pop band out of Champaign-Urbana and we're proud to be supporting our new friends for their upcoming record release shows in both their hometown and Chicago. The former happens first, as Canasta (finally) makes its Champaign debut at The Canopy Club on Fri. 8/14. We're not sure what to expect down that-a-ways, but if you went to school down there and know any folks still in the area, by all means, please send 'em out! Then, just a week later, we'll return to the amazing Lincoln Hall (recently named "Best Music Venue" by Chicago Magazine) on Fri. 8/20, as Elsinore unleash their new recordings on the Windy City. When we last played there, with Mucca Pazza, the night was somewhat dampened by severe thunderstorms, so not too many of you were able to see just how great this new venue is. Don't let anything stop you this time! Details on both shows follow. Now go eat something!
