Songwriting workshop with Christine Lavin @ Old Town School
The Old Town School of Folk Music presents a songwriting workshop with singer and songwriter Christine Lavin. This is the ideal workshop for aspiring songwriters, as Christine shares her experiences and offers tips on how to turn your ideas into finished songs. The workshop starts this afternoon at 3:00 PM at the Old Town's classrooms at 4544 N. Lincoln. See the class registration page for further details.
Olson & Louris (of The Jayhawks) @ Park West
I have all of my old Jayhawks albums on tape (on cassette tape, people), and sadly, ever since Olson left the group in the mid-1990s, things just haven't been the same. But, lucky for you and me, songwriters Mark Olson and Gary Louris have decided to so an acoustic tour this spring. They'll be at the Park West tonight for the last night of their tour, and tickets are $22 on Ticketmaster. There might just be a reincarnation on the horizon. (Update: At last check, this show has sold out. If you want tickets, you're gonna have to pay.)
