Devon Gilfillian – Time Will Tell Tour w. Jon Muq

Forged through the extreme highs and lows that come with living, Time Will Tell is the album that Devon Gilfillian has been preparing to make his entire life. His third studio album was recorded in Nashvilles legendary RCA Studio A, live to tape on varispeed, with mostly single vocal takes. Gilfillian wrote and produced with a mighty team including longtime drummer and friend Jonathan Smalt and Neal H Pogue (Tyler the Creator, OutKast) as executive producer. Gilfillian carries soul track to track through a sonic journey of rock, funk, and country elements, magnetically vulnerable about his own failure and frailty. No end is ever easy, and what else is there in life than to go through? To get to where were going, weve got to suffer a little. Time Will Tell is the sound of Gilfillian doing just that while realizing what a blessing it is to be here at all.

CHICAGO SOUL JAZZ COLLECTIVE returns to FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB

FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS: Chicago Soul Jazz Collective FREE Standing Room/Dance Floor! (RSVP) / $20/seat Reserved Tables Available , "rdquo" -> This is not merely a fusion of jazz, funk, blues and soul. It is something more elusive, something that resists classification altogether. In doing so, it comes remarkably close to defining the cultural soul of Chicago itself, at least as it can be understood through music...No Wind & No Rain does not try to outshout the city it represents. It listens, absorbs, and answers back in kind. And like Chicago itself, it leaves you with the sense that beneath the surface, steady, unyielding, something vital is still moving forward. Grab dinner before the show at BABYGOLD BARBECUE (link to restaurant website) Or enjoy full service dining inside the club when doors open. ***PARKING*** There is rather limited street parking in the area, we recommend arriving by rideshare, bicycle, or rickshaw. ***AGE RESTRICTIONS*** 21+, minors admitted with guardian
