Make sure to go see them and support local music, and we will see you real soon! Stayed tuned for more news to come soon, and thanks for supporting Old School!
Hey everybody!
It’s been a while, so I thought we were due for an update.
Who’s tired of Winter? I certainly am (Jim speaking here)! Really looking forward to Spring for many reasons not the least of which being some Old School gigs on the calendar. We will have more formal announcements coming soon, but here’s a quick run down of what we know.
Old School will be returning to Peggy Kinnane’s on Saturday March 22nd. We had a great time at Peggy’s in January and are looking forward to returning! Come on out and celebrate the Spring Equinox with Old School. The Equinox is technically the 20th, but the 22nd is close enough for rock ‘n’ roll.
Old School will be returning to Durty Nellie’s on April 4th. We will be opening for Mr Blotto, Chicago’s original jam band. Should be a fun night of rock!
Finally, looking all the way out to summer, Old School will tentatively be playing the Mount Prospect Lions Club 4th of July Fest at Melas Park on July 5th. Hold loosely on this one as I don’t know if this is 100% solid at this point.
Look for more formal announcements for each of these as we get closer!
So, hang in there! We’re nearly done with Winter 2025, and better things are around the corner!
Here’s the tentative setlist for Old School’s January 11th gig at Peggy Kinnane’s. We’ll be playing from 8PM to Midnight. The first set will start with a set of tunes from Bad Company’s first, self titled, album in honor of it’s 50th anniversary. The second set will feature Meg Shanahan, an amazing vocalist that you won’t want to miss.
This will be a great night of rock! Mark your calendars and we’ll see you there!
