No RSVP required.  Seating is first-come, first-seated.  We kindly ask for a two-drink or equivalent minimum.

Downtown Charlie Brown, a Chicagoland favorite, is one of the hottest blues player around.  Musical influences are Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Billie Holiday, Howlin’ Wolf, Pine Top Perkins, Sarah Vaughan, Aretha Franklin and others.

Donna Herula, 2022 Independent Blues Award Winner and 2021 Blues Artist of the Year in Doc’s Blues Awards, is a Chicago-born blues singer, songwriter, and slide guitarist that has a passion for playing traditional Delta Blues, early Chicago Blues, Folk, Americana, and Roots music.  Using electrified resonator guitars, her sound combines her love for the music of the Deep South and Chicago with her love of blues guitar improvisation.
