photo by Edith FrostGary Schepers is an old-school Chicago soundman and musician who’s been hospitalized due to complications from diabetes.  I’ll be playing at one of MANY benefits for him, on a bill with Califone and Chris Mills at the Hideout.  Doors are at 8pm and tickets are $20 — all proceeds go directly to Gary and boy howdy, he really needs it now.  There’s more info about him and all the benefits that are coming together over here.  Please come out to one of them and show your love… whether you know him or not, this is a person who’s helped a great many of us Chicago musicians get to where we are today.

My band: Nathaniel Braddock (guitar); Ryan Hembrey (bass); Jason Toth (drums)
