Might have to go check that out. The club in Ann Arbor is one block from where my wife works.

Here's a link to the Firefly club's website if anyone's interested. VERY small club. It's not very often they book anyone famous, but Tim's a local boy. Went to school here at the University of Michigan.

great! thanks for letting us know. who's going to the chicago gig?

Wish I was, but Chicago is a bit far away from the Netherlands. I can really advise anyone in the neighbourhood to go and see Tim. He really puts on a great show with his band. Saw him twice until now. Once in Berlin and once in Amsterdam. Both shows were great.

I saw him in Chicago in 2006

harm - i'd rather be in the netherlands than here in chicago but such is life. they're playing the same venue as they did in '06 (martyr's).

Have fun, all who are going. Wish I could join you. But, as the juf says, if I win the lottery I will be there.

Wish I could go to the Chicago gig! Am leaving for home before that...LQ, tell us all about it, okay?

We've seen them twice @ Martyr's in Chicago (2005 & 2006?) & both shows in London in August 2007. About a month ago, I saw that they're supposed to be playing December 28 @ Martyr's, but it's still not on Martyr's website (where tix for most of Martyr's shows are sold). Nonetheless, we definitely plan on being there!

And then the following week, Buddy Guy starts his month of 'January' shows @ Legends!! The winters may be cold & windy in Chicago, but we do have great music to keep us warm!

how many gigs will Buddy play in January? Damn how I wish I could go!!


plexi

He does about 16.... Thursday through Sunday of each week. There is no comparison seeing Buddy anywhere else but Legends. Here's the schedule with opening acts (might persuade some of you to make a trip to Chicago!

Who is opening for Buddy?
Thursday, January 8th: Ronnie Baker Brooks
Friday, January 9th: Brother John
Saturday, January 10th: NuBlu Band featuring Carlise Guy
Sunday, January 11th: Big James & the Chicago Playboys
Thursday, January 15th: Scott Holt
Friday, January 16th: Larry McCray
Saturday, January 17th Carlos Johnson
Sunday, January 18th: Carl Weathersby
Thursday, January 22nd: Billy Branch & the Sons of Blues
Friday, January 23rd: NuBlu Band featuring Carlise Guy
Saturday, January 24th: Cedric Burnside & Lightnin’ Malcolm
Sunday, January 25th: Lurrie Bell
Wednesday, January 28th: Nick Moss & the Flip Tops
Thursday, January 29th: Jimmy Burns
Friday, January 30th: John Primer
Saturday, January 31st Lil’ Ed & the Blues Imperials

If you can only make it to one of Buddy's shows...go to the one on the 31st. Lil' Ed puts on a SHOW !!! And then Buddy comes on?? This will be great.

That he does.... unfortunately, all of the Saturday Buddy shows are sold out already. Trying to decide which other show(s) to get tix for.

Who's going to chicago? anyone want to make it an IORR field trip?

I am going. Did you buy tickets in advance?

cool. i will buy a ticket for the first show and see if it carries over to the 2nd show. i've just learned that bernard will not be there though - i can't say i've ever seen them without him. he's such a highlight that i'm a little bummed.

Didn't know there were 2 shows. I remember that's how they did it last time.
I'll probably get there around 9pm.

tim says the 2nd set will start either 8:30 or 9pm so try to get there a bit earlier if possible!

the website for advanced tix is weird - there are two entries for that night but both state a 7pm start time. maybe if i clicked through on the 2nd, a later startime would show up on the order form eventually. i'm getting there at 5:30 or 6pm and expect to eat dinner there.

We also only noticed a 7:00 start time.... planning on getting there by 6 also. Does anyone know who else besides Daryll will be performing with Tim??

BAD NEWS!! The show in Chicago has been postponed to a date yet undetermined. I'll post more when I hear back...

why?


p

hoping to hear back from tim soon...i don't know if Ann Arbor has been postponed too.

I also received 2 emails tonight.... one directly from Martyr's and one from the ticket agency. One states that the show has been postponed and one states that the show has been canceled. Hoping that they'll reschedule soon!

I called the Firefly today and they said it was still on. My wife and myself will be attending the Ann Arbor show. And we will be celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary(12-27-03).

Interesting. Tim has said it's a long story but they will be back in Chicago in the Spring! I'm needing my dose of the scene sooner though!
