The history, or What is the Chocolate Sunday Showcase?

As you may know, Windy City Open Mic is more than just a place to host Chicago’s best Open Mic. In addition we book shows all over the city at new and exciting venues. Sundays seemed to be missing something, especially on those lazy afternoons when you want to do something, but not too much. And “Chocolate” is always something to consider. So we decided to combine two wonderful past times, the love of chocolate and live acoustic music. So was born, the “Chocolate Sunday Showcase”.

BUY-IN with Common Shiner, Left Turn, Pinto & the Bean.
8:00 pm
Lincoln Tap Room, 3010 N. Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL (MAP)
From the Common Shiner Event Page:

Hey everybody! How does a 4 hour All-You-Can-Drink party with Common Shiner and all your favorite Chicago friends sound? Well guess what--that's exactly the party we're throwing! As we continue to raise money to make our (inevitably amazing) next album, we asked ourselves, "Why not throw an awesome benefit that everyone can have fun at?" So we're borrowing an awesome bar for a night, and we're gonna play music at it too.

We'll be playing an extended set, including stuff from across our repertoire--both brand new things you haven't heard from the band, as well as old gems we don't play anymore. We'll even be taking requests (for a small donation of course).

JOINING US will be our dear friends:
Left Turn At Albuquerque
Pinto & the Bean

We really just wanna have a good time with all of our Chicago friends. Which is why we worked out an *amazing* deal with Lincoln Tap Room for an All-You-Can-Drink wristband for just 30 bucks! Drink as much as you want from 8pm to midnight for a price we're pretty sure you can't beat anywhere. Just by drinking all you want for four hours, you'll be significantly helping us raise the funds that will go to making the best album we've ever made.
(Not a drinker? Don't worry, you don't have to buy a wristband. You should still come and hang out!)

We'll also have awesome merch deals and giveaways.
