We have made it to the newspapers this week!  Be sure to pick up a copy of the Illinois Times, which you can find for free at many local businesses around town.

Our friend Tom Irwin was kind enough to dedicate his “Now Playing” column to us to help celebrate seven years of Black Sheep running as an all ages music venue in Springfield.  Thanks Tom!  Kevin, Brian, and Cory talked to Tom about how the Black Sheep operates and what our place in the community is.

“We are part of the community, a part of urban renewal in a DIY ideology that supports the communal aspect of accomplishing a good thing,” explains Kevin. “We do this because, to us, it’s just the right thing to do, building an organic place for art to grow together for all of the community.”
