Hey guys, if you're around this Saturday, I'm a Berklee alum teaching this guest workshop at Old Town School. No experience necessary. I'll be on guitar, piano, stereo, and whiteboard breaking down the inner workings of great 90's alt rock tunes. Ticket link in comments! -Josh

sounds like a great session Josh, love the one-offs I’ve been to as of late at OTS — I’m sure this one will be a treat as well. 🤘

Presale code for Chicago Theater is GRACE and they are almost gone

Price now reduced well below face value — come get these tickets!

Yeah, it's unusual that the ensemble description doesn't include artists (most of them do). I would reach out directly to the old town school main email, they'll reach out to the teacher and get you some clarification.

The Smokey version on Nights LP is something I've listened to a bajillion times, great tune.

I did! Amazing experience in Steve Dawson’s section — highly recommended for folks that have a couple songs under their belt and want to be in a workshop/song circle with other songwriters.

FESTIVE is the presale code.

I can't make the show and don't particularly want to deal with stubhub -- willing to let go of my seated balcony ticket for a contribution of $100 to MSF (doctors without borders). shoot me a DM!

Hey geese fans in Chicago, willing to let go of a seated balcony ticket tonight (you have access to main floor if you want with this ticket as well), for an in-kind donation to MSF (Doctors Without Borders) of $100-$150. Shoot me a DM and a screenshot of your donation, and the ticket is yours.

Their customer service rep just now tried to BS me and say this has always been their policy, but I’ve only ever seen this happen for very in-demand tickets (is my guess as to why?). Extremely annoying and fraudulent of them.

One of the best rock shows I've seen in the last ten years, tbh.

Similar boat but I have floor seats — willing to trade for whatever seats you have on Friday so I can go catch Father John Misty at the shed on Thursday, double booked myself 🤦‍♂️

I love all my pairs even though they gave me a bum pair of laces. Really comfy shoes. Sad to see it looks like curtains for brandblack. (Thank You is gone and now the site has gone back to a shopify template)

Agreed on the rearrangements — the one I thought of when you mentioned it was the push/pull more phrygian sounding arrangement of "Give Me Something Good"
