The Jordan Years are very excited to be a part of the Chicago Soul Showcase at the legendary Wicker Park club Double Door! Mark your calendars, hire a baby sitter, call in sick the next day, whatever it is going to take, just be there! This will be the last TJY gig before locking in to the friendly confines of West Town Recording to work on the next batch of recordings, so no gigs for a minute folks!

Chicago Soul Showcase WITH-

Keith and the Complications (9-9:30PM) -From what I hear on the KnTC myspace page we are in for a night of up tempo soul/funk tunes that will keep your feet stomping and the crowd singing. There’s some Jamie Lidell influence as well as old Sam and Dave for sure. . .

The Sometimes Family (9:45-10:30PM) – Numerous friends have told me about The Sometimes Family and I never looked into them until now, shame on me! Great female pop/soul falling nicely between the likes of Dusty Springfield and Rachael Yamagata with maybe even some Cardigans flavor.

The Congregation (10:45-11:30PM) – I recently had the pleasure of recording Gina and co at WTR and am very excited to witness The Congregation live. Gina’s voice is a wonderful mix of Etta James and Janis Joplin with the band keeping it steady and soulful underneath.

The Jordan Years (11:45-12:30AM) – Of course this is the best band of the night, wait I am in this band so I am biased. Anyway TJY recently permi-borrowed the horn section of reggae/dub/hip hop group and TJY friends, Dubasaurus. We are using this night to test out some new horn flavor before hitting the studio to record our next record!!!! No gigs are being booked until the recording is done so please come see the last TJY show until Winter!
