I'm playing steel Thursday 1/26 at Fitzgerald's night club "Country Night in Berwyn". They usually have 5 to 8 bands, so if one sucks, just wait a half hour. They haven't announced the full lineup yet, but there's me and MAYBE 1 or 2 other guys playing steel.

Also Joel Paterson's Western Elstons might be playing somewhere...

Ha, no worries. I've stopped "promoting" our band with "you must come out" messages because all it does is make people feel guilty for not showing up. Our FB page does fine preventing the "man, you should have told me" thing...

Brian Wilkie plays pedal steel with the Hoyle Brothers every Friday Happy Hour at a bar called the Empty Bottle. Brian's a great player the band is excellent.
