Checking in with Bill’s Blues Bar in Evanston for December
I also like the Bill’s Blues Bar folks in northern-suburban Evanston, Illinois. They have a great website where, right up front, they have their monthly calendar. That’s pretty darn cool. You don’t have to go fishing around and look for what you want to know, it’s right there.
I also have it on good authority that it’s a great place to check out some live blues. I have yet to make the journey to the place myself, but I trust my boss and she says it was a very cool place and recommended it to me. So, I like to promote them when I can.
So, if you are a fan of the blues and you don’t mind traveling to Evanston, here’s the events and shows happening at Bill’s this month. Check out their website as well and, as always, tell them you heard about it from this blog.
