We provide drums and amps, just bring your
instrument. One musician at a time
can play, with the
band for improvisation, or as a standalone, for 15/20
minutes.
You can register your
name on a list at the door, choosing at what time you'd like
to
play. We suggest that you know how to communicate in terms
of chords and
rhythms, to make the improvisation easier and more
convenient for the other
musicians.
You're more than welcome to come and play with us, and bring your
friends! Le Petit Chicago is a very nice bar and we
hope to see a lot of people.
Spread the
word!

SCHEDULE
- AQUiCKSMOKE at JIM JAM 2010, Morrisburg, ONTARIO AQUICKSMOKE
are four like-minded confreres who have traveled
the musical landscape for
some years now under many pseudonyms. Paul
Hampsey is the lead singer of
the band. Plays a mean chuggin’ guitar as
well. Alden Roberge is the drummer.
‘Nuff said. Philippe Leger adds
fluorescent guitar nuances and lends a voice now
and then. Miguel Cerejido
happily rounds out the whole by enveloping the group
with thumping bass
and Cuban-accented vocal harmonies. AQUiCKSMOKE is an
entirely original
group who rely on the basic need that music does soothe the
soul and its
delivery is honest and straightforward

I only highlight a small number of events that are
posted to the calendar.
Nowhere near everything is posted on the
calendar as it's musician/venue
optional to
post, and amend the listings as needed. However
more info can be found
on the calendar including links
to such venue web sites as Rainbow Bistro, Tucson's,
The Elmdale and
Bass Line Station that usually have more detailed schedules.
It's also
a good idea to call a venue to confirm that regular listings still
apply
as they sometimes just quietly go away or may be cancelled due to
weather disruptions.
First, check the calendar for more
