Live Music | Preaching from the Gutter
"Preachin' from the Gutter" ft. The Dishonorable Rev. "Sandy Joe" Sandy, Deacon Nick O'Tyne, and Tam Masters
Gutter-jazz straight from the heart of Illinois, this show brings you two sinners and a muppet preaching the ups and downs of life as they know it. They'll be singing mostly originals by "Sandy Joe" (they/them) with some favorites of Tam's (he/they) thrown in for good measure. Brace yourself for excessive accordion, trumpet, keys, and kazoo as they take you on a trip from blues and jazz to klezmer and country to bluegrass and Balkan dance and so much more!
Doors 6, Music 7-9
Suggested $5-10 cover
