The Painkillers Blues Band
Prairie Crossroads Blues Society
Bunny's Tavern

Today's the BIG DAY! The Painkillers Blues Band kicks off the 8th Annual Prairie Crossroads Blues Fest tonight (Friday, August 7) at 6:00 in the Bunny's Tavern parking lot downtown Urbana. If you play an instrument or sing, and want to join the Painkillers to jam on-stage, bring your instrument (or lovely voice) and let's do it!

Candy Foster and the Shades of Blue will close out tonight's show from 8:30-10:00. Our shared vocalist, Dawn Clark, will be working overtime tonight!

Tomorrow, Saturday, the fun continues when the fun and talented Bubble City Playboys take the stage at 4:00. Andrew Duncanson and Take a Ride, featuring Michael Peloquin, plays from 6:00-8:00. They will be joined onstage by two other great musicians: Gerry Hundt and Lee Kanehira.

The festival will close with Alligator Recording artists Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials playing from 8:30-10:00. Li' Ed is a Blues icon who will WOW you with his energy, fun, and talent.

The Prairie Crossroads Blues Society has worked hard to bring this to you with no admission charge ... they DO need your support and donations though if you look forward to a NINTH Annual Blues Fest! They'll have several ways to win some great gift certificates, a beautiful guitar, and a 50-50 raffle!

This will be a FANTASTIC weekend of the Blues ... we hope you can join us!

Happy 5 Year Anniversary!
Fire Doll Studio

Some of you may have noticed that the facade of our shop today looks a bit like a scene from an old cartoon where a house is robbed and they took the pictures off the walls and left that little "used to be a picture here" shape. FEAR NOT! Our friends at Book Construction took our sign to get some much needed TLC and will bring it back all shiny and new! WE ARE OPEN! We will be celebrating 5 years in business this month, so we are excited to mark the occasion with a fancy new sign! We can't wait to see how it turns out! Stay tuned! 🥰

✨Chicago Farmer✨ https://chicagofarmer.com/
“Historically, Chicago Farmer was the quintessential “guy with a guitar and a story,” a spiritual heir to Arlo Guthrie and John Prine who spent two decades proving that Americana is essentially just “unsuccessful country” with better lyrics. But on Homeaid, the solo troubadour evolution reaches its next form. By bringing in The Fieldnotes (and producer Chad Staehly), Farmer hasn’t just added a drum kit; he’s traded in the acoustic sedan for a full-sized Midwestern work truck. The record is thicker, louder, and carries the rugged, “first-take” energy of a band that has spent too many nights together in the back of a van.” - Audio Toxicity
