Thanks to all the folks who came out to dance in the drizzle at Navy Pier yesterday for the World Music Festival! You made the lake look even lovelier. Looking forward to drier, warmer confines tonight at the Mayne Stage with Grupo Cumbe!

Thanks to everyone who came out for the Six Corners BBQ Fest! The OP had a nice thrill that day when none other than Alejo Poveda jumped up on stage to join us for a few tunes. Check out the video on youtube.
Thanks from the OP to all the booty-shakers at our World Music Festival gig last week. It was great sharin the vibes with you all! More pics forthcoming.
