Meet Kat Fitzgerald.

This is a great musical series focusing on female singer/songwriters in, around and touring thru Chicago.

Each Wednesday, “Four” female performers will showcase their talents in a show. For one month, the same four performers will be featured, but will rotate and change their sets.

NEW SHOWCASE CREATES VENUE FOR UP AND COMING FEMALE SINGER SONGWRITERS

“Four Women Showcase ” offers the only showcase in Chicago dedicated to new female singer/songwriters and performers!

And just a little bit of trivia that some might enjoy – Crystal Bowersox – Yes, the one and only American Idol fabulous performer, played in “Four Women” 3 times!   We Love you Crystal and wish you all the best!

“Four Women Showcase ” – the music series which began in September of 2008 to help bring music from female singer/songwriters to the masses happens each and every Wednesday night at Mary’s Attic. In addition, you can find “Four Women” appearing around the city at places like Circuit, Heartland Cafe and many others – just keep an eye out on the event calendar.

Come out and support local music at Hamburger Mary’s (Mary’s Attic)!

"Pete Special and Elwood have been pals since they first met

in Chicago during the shooting of THE BLUES BROTHERS movie.

Pete was recorded live, exclusively for the Radio Hour,

at a recent performance for Levon Helm’s legendary

concert series, the Midnight Ramble.

You will hear some of that (the entire concert can be heard

right here through the miracle of the Internet).

Also, tunes from his CD, BLUE TELEPHONE,

(available through Pete’s website petespecialmusic.com),

from his big band soul revue Big Twist and the Mellow Fellows, 

and The Band (Pete has played with them as well).

Plus some Howlin’ Wolf for you, and new music from

harmonica maestro R.J. Mischo".Click on this pic for ALL the info you need

from the House of Blues Radio Hour website!
