Hi all,
Plenty to talk about, starting in Chicago this week and continuing into Iowa, Indiana, and central Illinois.
This Wednesday, 3/26, Eli's going to be beyond full-force at the
Lakeshore Theater in Chicago. I'm telling you, this is a really special show, and here's why:
- The Lakeshore (Broadway & Belmont) is a big, theater-style venue, which means this will be a sit-down concert, not a bar gig (though they'll be serving booze)
- We'll have two fantastic backup singers supporting Miss Stefanie, and bringing the band count to TEN
- It'll be our last Chicago show for a while (see future dates below)
- It's a nice 8:00pm start-time for all you nine-to-fivers
It's also the first chance for our Chicago fans to hear new songs and get their hands on Eli Jones t-shirts and stickers. Here're the details:
Wed, March 26
3175 N. Broadway, Chicago
8pm (doors at 7pm), $8
Now for some future dates.....including our highly anticipated (by us) return to Iowa City and Cedar Rapids:
Sat 4/5 @ Fitzgerald's, Berwyn IL
Sat 4/26 @ IC Yacht Club, Iowa City, IA
Sun 4/27 @ Mahoney's, Cedar Rapids, IA (YEAH!)
Thu 5/1 @ Marley's, Springfield, IL
Fri 5/2 @ The Verve, Terre Haute, IN
Sat 5/3 @ Friends & Co., Charleston, IL
Tue 5/6 @ Duffy's Tavern, Chicago
Fri 5/16 @ RIBCO, Rock Island, IL
Hope to see you at the shows - and keep listening at
elisoul.com and
myspace.com/elisoul. We're also on
Pandora.com these days, but if you haven't signed up there already, I have to warn you: it's addictive. It's slightly taken over my life lately, in a very good way.
Anyway, keep thinking sunshiny thoughts!
Love,
Chris and the Eli gang
