I’ve been busy lately with some non music related stuff (sad, I know). But I’ve also been working on and off trying to set up the next Songs:Illinois presents house concert and yesterday I finalized it.
On Oct. 11 we welcome Peter Mulvey and Matt Jones into our living room. I’m excited about the lineup as Peter Mulvey is known for his songs, stories and good humor. Matt Jones is a Ypsilanti based artist that has been labeled indie folk. But on his debut his music veers in several directions at once so he’s not a guy to be pigeonholed.
The show is semi-private. I can’t advertise or make a big commotion for contractual reasons but if you are interested in attending and live in the Chicago area then email me at cbonnell@gmail.com. Here’s a song from Peter’s new record Letters from a Flying Machine and from Matt Jones’ debut The Black Path.
Some People – Peter Mulvey
Threadlines – Matt Jones (via I Am Janet)
P.S. Here’s something new from Austinite Bob Schneider. Bob Schneider’s Lovely Creatures is out on Kirtland Records on September 29. This may be the first single. It’s too polished for me but if you are a fan of early 90’s Matthew Sweet era power pop this might be for you (plus by linking to this I’ll get picked up by Hype Machine and Elbo.ws and maybe get the two artists above a little more attention)
