“I’m soon approaching 40 years of playing on the Chicago blues/music scene. Hard to believe.”

The “BirdFam” was out in force for the band’s recent show at Thalia Hall in Chicago!

Whatever you expected to see from them on stage, prepare to see more. Ask the fans in Chicago.

At Park West, The Record Company came out swinging from the initial bell with a one-two punch of the rollicking and foot-stomping “Feels So Good.”

As for his show at Evanston’s SPACE, Johanson charged out of the gates.

A world traveler, this was Wesli’s first stop in upstate New York, and he was genuinely moved by a response from fans that was over the top in celebratory exuberance.

Billed as a celebration of the music of both Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts, this show also featured an all-star cast of supporting musicians.

Standing alone in front of a 1931 National steel guitar, a single-stringed diddley bow, an African banjo, and a standard acoustic guitar, he systematically picked each up again and again through two one-hour sets that transported an audience.

Some bands cannot be contained. Those bands are built for stardom. Dirty Honey is standing on the precipice of such heights.

More than twenty years on and My Morning Jacket is still resonating with its audience.
