Instead of taking the time to review something that sounds good, I am going to suggest a couple of things that you should check out real briefly. (This weekend is crazy too: friends visiting from Iowa, 21st b-day on Sunday at midnight, a Brewers vs. Cubs game on Tuesday, and then some cool kid visiting from Vienna, VA the following weekend).
Anyway – Friday Fresh F.F.F…..
Band: OAR
New Album “All Sides”
Performance Date: July 24, 2008; over the lunch hour on Michigan Ave.
The lead singer, Marc Roberge, and guitarist, Richard On, played a brief acoustic set at 401 N. Michigan Avenue promoting their concert that night at the Charter One Pavillion at Northerly Island in Chicago. The quick set was wonderful and a great break from work.
Check out their new album. I am going to buy it ASAP. And they are awesome.
Band: JJ Grey and Mofro
Performance Date: July 26, 2008; the Taste of Lincoln Festival, Chicago
With 3 buddies in hand, I will be heading to the corner of Fullerton and Lincoln to check out one of the best blues bands that rural Florida has to offer. Check out their albums, “Lochloosa,” “Blackwater,” and “Country Ghetto.” They are fabulous and one of the best bands to see live, ever.

Mofro is so good live, my wife and I have seen them 11 times since December. It helps to live in Fla! They truly are awesome AND have a new record coming out end of Aug called "Orange Blossoms." You can get more info on their fansite at www.mofrofans.com
Happy B-day, buddy! Don't get all wild and crazy on the streets of Chi-town this eve! You definitely need to participate in The Scribe's Take Another Look Thursday. Visit moi and click on Jake & Elwood Blues, of Chi-town fame, too, I believe! BTW, it's that time of week again--please drop on in for a little Silly Summer Sunday Sweepstakes. You have 2 chances to play!
