We are pleased to announce that DJ Jesse de la Pena and guitarist Bobby Broom will join us at Kinetic Playground on Saturday, September 2 for the return of “First Beat,” the monthly late-night CAbP series from 1-5 a.m. Jesse has long been one of the most in-demand Chicago DJs, and we’re honored to have him join us. After honing chops with Miles Davis and other jazz greats, Bobby now performs in the Deep Blue Organ Trio at the Green Mill in Chicago on Tuesdays as well as in his own trio around town. Keep checking back at our site as we’ll be announcing more guests soon. The return of First Beat will start off on the right foot…

For a few of us who grew up in St. Louis, we head back home next weekend for a gig at Blueberry Hill’s Duck Room on Delmar Avenue. All you STL locals know why it’s a legendary venue in town, and all if you who don’t should come check out it out to see what the fuss is all about. Tickets are $10 and we’ll be performing with special guest Papa Ray, the Soulselector, doing a funk, dub African and reggae mix. We’ll also performa a special in-store performance at Vintage Vinyl on Delmar at 6 p.m. Friday.
