Have we told you about this show yet?? It seems like we have – maybe we mentioned it in our post about Kate Laine going out on her first tour later this month. Anyways, this one is happening two weeks from today on Thursday, June 19th! You better be there. This features touring act Jordan Collins from Spokane, Washington who is going to be on tour with Kate Laine this month. This is one of the dates on that tour. Stream Jordan’s music on the player below if you want. Also on this show is solo act Flunkie – who released a new song that we posted about a couple of days ago. Nice. Layers will be performing as well, the two-piece, post-Renae, poetry fusion project. Alice Currie of the band Attic Salt will be performing a solo set as well.

May is starting to shape up to be a pretty good month for shows lined up at recently rejuvenated Springfield all ages venue Bread Stretchers! There’s a nice three band local show happening there on Friday, May 17th for us to fill you in on today! For this one we have the return of Epsom – the weirdo rock group featuring a number of Springfield scene veterans that have been rocking it for a good number of years. They are back for the first time this year with a brand new lineup. Starter Jackets is another local group that we don’t see too often of. They say they are playing their only local gig of the year for this one?? We don’t know if we believe that, but either way let’s not miss out on this rare Starter Jackets show. The first act on the bill is full band Kenyon DeShasier, the local pop / indie song writing machine.

We have the band “Big Loser” coming from Texas. Who is that? Well, actually they were a band called “Free Kittens And Bread” who had actually played Black Sheep a few times in recent years.

Also on this show is THE Telephone Junkies. The one and only. Speaking of great bands, Loverboard from over in Eastern Illinois are making a return to Springfield for this show!
