Lonesome Whippoorwills Return To Eastgate Cafe

This past Saturday night, Lonesome Whippoorwills came back to Eastgate Cafe in Oak Park to play three sets of music. We had a great time playing for a very energetic and supportive audience. We started the night off playing a few holiday songs, which seemed to to go over pretty well. After all, who doesn't like holiday music? The LWs then went into their first set of songs, accompanied by drummer Mike Levin. Thanks Mike for keeping a steady beat! We were fortunate enough to have Mike play with us through the first two sets of music. During the third set, we got back to our acoustic/waltz roots and were honored to be joined by special friends Richard and Michelle on mandolin and bass (respectively).

The greatest part of the night was playing for such a wonderful, supportive audience. I know I'm missing some names here, but I'd like to say thanks to a couple of individuals who came out to support our group. Special thanks to Mitch, Kristie, Tom, and Susie.

Also, a special thanks goes out to Olya at Eastgate Cafe for giving us this wonderful opportunity. We absolutely love playing at Eastgate Cafe and can't wait to come back and play again on February 16th!

Thanks again for everyone's support. We look forward to seeing you out again in 2013. Have a great holiday season!
