This blog was created to provide my opinion and reviews about the Chicago music scene. The commentary here is based upon what shows that I (as a lover of all things music) have SEEN. I also comment on the venues so that you can know what to expect during your night out, whether reserve tables are in order, what acoustical nightmares or pleasures you might experience, where you might go to eat before the show, and other random, noteworthy, or fun observations. I hope you enjoy the reviews!

Shemekia Copeland and Bill Bickey at Old Town School of Folk on 12/9/10
The last time I saw Shemekia was at House of Blues when she was 18 and I was, (a lot) younger. Now at age 32, she has really developed her command and comfort of the stage. She is also hilarious. Whether she was joking around or exercising her vocal chops, the audience was in bliss.
Since there is absolutely no photography or video allowed at OTS (and I was a volunteer usher and could not "plead ignorant" of these rules) I am posting Shemekia's video of "Never Going Back to Memphis" from her Letterman show (2009):
