We're happy to announce a couple of upcoming duo shows at opposite ends of the city. Come hang with Gabrielle and Aaron, along with special guest fiddler Sarah Blick, at Andersonville's Midsommarfest as we kick off Saturday, June 7th's festivities at 11am on the Out Rock Stage at Clark and Balmoral. There's a $10 suggested donation for festival admittance.

Then on Thursday, June 12th, head to the South Side and the always awesome Reggie's Music Joint for a 7:30pm show (Sarah will also be joining us for this one). Two of Oklahoma's favorite sons, Matt Mason and Bloody Ol' Mule, round out the bill. Just five bucks at the door.

Upcoming Show: Gabrielle & Aaron duo set @ The Horseshoe 3/22

Wed, 05 Mar 2014 21:10:38 -0600

When last we met our heroes, they were playing pretty acoustic tunes in one of the city's finest music rooms, opening for a pair of teenage chanteuses (chanteaux? chanteae? Whatever.) Now come watch them try to blow the doors off a honky-tonk while opening for Cask Mouse, a band from Boston whose motto is "show up clean and early, leave late and dirty." Come out Saturday, March 22, to The Horseshoe (4115 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago) to see what the hell happens next. 10pm, additional details (cover and such, if there is one) TBA. If you'd care to RSVP on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/events/501054140014197/, well, that would be just swell. See you then!

Mon, 25 Mar 2013 08:10:16 -0500

Yeah, it's supposed to be spring in Chicago, but there's a below-freezing wind chill. We have the cure: the first Lost Cartographers show of 2013! On Friday, April 5, we'll be back at one of our favorite bars in Chicago, Gallery Cabaret (2020 N. Oakley). We've got a special all-acoustic set planned that you will not want to miss, along with (gasp!) the world debut of a new tune, "Brown's Station." With The Blueliners and Julie & the Drug Squad. Show starts at 9:30, no cover. And if you're on Facebook, we'd love it if you'd RSVP so can plan on seeing your smiling face.

Good news, all: if for some unfathomable reason (perhaps having made the mistake of residing in another state) you can't make it to our gig at the Double Door next week, we have a consolation prize for you. You will be able to watch a live video stream of the show for free! Bookmark this URL now: http://gigity.tv/event/627/ You won't be able to buy us a beer, but we'll take a rain check on that.

Upcoming Show: Thursday, December 13 at Double Door

Wed, 28 Nov 2012 13:46:51 -0600

Chicagoans, come shake off those looming winter blues while we make our Double Door debut as part of Mad Bread's monthly Roots Revival at the venerable Wicker Park club (1551 N. Damen Ave.). It's our first time at this esteemed venue (the Rolling Stones once played here!), so we'd love to have a big turn out.

Doors at 7:30, show at 8:00, our set time is TBD but will probably be 8 or 9. With Mad Bread, Northern Magnolia, and Divebar. The cover is just $5, which you can pay at the door or purchase in advance here.

As usual, if plan to come and you're on Facebook, we'd appreciate it if you'd help us spread the word by RSVPing to our Facebook event.
