Hey everybody,
My names Will, I'm from Chicago and very interested in playing Dead around here. Anyone around the south side play any Dead? I'm looking to jam.

every Thursday in April: Dead Night @ Harte's Saloon, 99th & Artesian, Evergreen Park, IL

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source= ... =12,0,,0,5

Jim Farmer: "myself, Jack Pieroth, Dave Waterman, Anthony Massarro, and Barry Brown.......w/ some alternates. This is NOT a jam night however........The band will be the same lineup for the most part."

I'm planning on attending during my Chicago trip, 4/23.

evergreen park is very tempting.
North of where I am but doable.
Thanks for the heads up

I just moved out to the S/SW suburbs too :-/ looking for some Deadhead/Hippie bars.

Really just somewhere mellow to go hang out.

Hey PH,
Not sure about dead bars, but there are a couple places to catch some free live music
Orland Park, and Tinley Park have "Music in the Park' throughout the summer
Bring a lawn chair, beverages and food they will supply the music.
Also, Tinley Parks Old Town area has alot of bars with live music

I would fully recommend the above posted Harte's Saloon Thursday Dead Night. Jim The Drummer & Friends rocked out a lot of good stuff, no slackers they. And it was a pretty friendly atmosphere, with a handy smoking tent outside (full on midwest storm raging at the time)...skimpy beer selection but I am spoiled.

My main complaint was that when I sat in (strictly an exception, not an "open" jam) they gave NO opportunity to tune up... just launched into a tune as I walked onstage... fuckrs! (not you Jim, thanks a ton for trying)

arrgh, sorry about that, Nick. It was pretty touch and go for me that evening and I dont think I got out my door until after 10pm. I've got a few friends peeved at me from not getting together with them this last visit, but that's how it goes with a 20 month old kid sometimes. I'll be back in August- let's make a point of getting together. I'll probably go ahead and bring a guitar next time too, much easier than borrowing one (for a lefty).

No worries, Tom! I see only too often the struggles with little ones. And I'm sure I'm lower on your visit list being so far from "home". August for sure!!!
