Past Engagements
 

For the last couple of years we have been playing St. Patrick's day at The Country Lounge in Hobart, IN (3700 Montgomery Street, 219-942-6699). Nice folks, and a nice old-fashioned place--cottage cheese and kidney beans all around!

For years there's been a session at The Hidden Shamrock, 2723 N. Halsted in Chicago, on Sundays from 3-6:00pm. From time to time we anchor it.
