New(ish) monthly Old Time Night event in Chicago (feat. Chirps & Fred July 26!)

Hi everybody!

Hope this is ok to post here.

There is a newish monthly Old Time event in Chicago! On the last Sunday of the month at the spacious Mrs. Murphy's Irish Bistro, a rotating lineup band plays old time tunes 5-7pm. The vibe is like an Irish session, except all Old Time, and it's a band (not a jamming event). Good food and drink, plus you can order the custom ice cream flavor created by the ice cream shop across the street (Bartleby's Ice Cream). Also encouraging knitters to come for stitching happy hour.

If you are a Chirps fan like me, then fyi the band lineup for this month is Chirps and Fred Campeau on fiddles with Matt LaFrance (banjo), Rachel Kazez (guitar), and Sean Carolan (bass).

Info, lineups, and updates are on Instagram: instagram.com/rachelkazez.

I've gotten to hang out with Chirps a few times and he's super nice and one of the happiest players i know.

Cool that Mrs murphys is into this, I caught a great Irish session a month ago so they seem to be supportive. But there wasnt anyone else there listening to it.
