FINAL MOONSHINE RESIDENCY PERFORMANCE FILMING~

All month long TSB has delighted fans every Thursday evening with 2 sets of music - first acoustic, second electric. Each night at MOONSHINE has had a totally unique set-list, as the boys dug deep from their discography, revisiting some cool cover tunes from over the years, with some special guests popping in as well. Now on THIS Thursday (Oct 29), its more of the same, but this show is being filmed by the folks at the Chicago Music Project, directed by J.S. Acker, for a new web series and a possible DVD release. It’s gonna be a special evening, so be sure to join us!

This week starts off this Thursday (July 30) as the guys return to Chicago with a really Big Rock n' Roll Show at one of THEE coolest clubs around, MARTYRS'. This show should not be missed because it features some of the great up-and-coming groups from around the United States. First to hit the stage is The Lonely H at 8pm. All the way from Washington, these boys bring the country-tinged-flavored-pop back, ala Badfinger & the Eagles. They are followed by your Steepwater Band, sometime around the Nine o'Clock hour. Then taking the stage last is Pennsylvania's Telepath, an all-instrumental band that combines world music with funky beats.


On Friday (July 31) TSB travels north to Milwaukee to the always packed and steamy Up & Under Pub. The show once again starts off with the rock stylings of The Lonely H. Followed by 2 Sets of TSB.


The House of Blues is the location on Saturday (August 1), with your TSB opening the show for rock legends The Arc Angels. The super group features Charlie Sexton , who played with Bob Dylan; Doyle Bramhall II, from Eric Clapton's band; and Chris Layton, SRV's former drummer. It's a 17+over Rock n Roll show, so get your tickets now! Showtime 9pm.


Then closing out the week the guys travel back up north on Sunday evening (August 2) for a special Acoustic Performance at the Brown Baer in Elkhart, Wisconsin. If you caught the acoustic show in May at the Moonshine, you know how special these shows are, so don’t miss it!
