This Sunday at long running Springfield bar The Brewhaus, there will be a celebratory night honoring 20 years of Tom Irwin playing there on Sunday nights. The flier pictured above does say 20 years… but Tom might have miscalculated and it might be an actual 19 year celebration. From Tom’s column in The Illinois Times:

This Sunday we celebrate an anniversary at the Brewhaus. The venerable downtown bar opened in 1994 as the first of the new wave of downtown drinking and entertainment establishments. I’ve made a mathematical memory error for years now, always celebrating my events there as if I had started in 1993. But the light came, the darkness lifted and I’ve been shown the error of my ways and next year we will celebrate completing 20 years of live music at the same venue. But please come celebrate this Sunday as we begin the 20th year of yours truly at the Brewhaus nearly every Sunday at 7 p.m. with guests Murder of Crowes.

Tom Irwin has been a solo musician in Springfield for a while now as well as a columnist for the music section of the Illinois Times. There will be a show at Black Sheep on Sunday, but for those of you who are ages 21 and up you might want to head over to Brewhaus and celebrate 19 or 20 years of Tom Irwin. Their show starts at 7:00 pm and also features Murder of Crowes.

Tom Irwin was featured as a guest on The Black Sheep Radio Show earlier this month. You can download that entire episode right here.
