 A big thank you to Robin Baumgarten on WGN Morning News, which is part of my daily ritual. She hates the phrase "Tighty Whiteys", resulting in me playing Epic Love Song  today live on air.   Here's the LIVE PERFORMANCE with friends Jonathan Keaton, Jeff Madden, Jim Mulvaney, Andy Orschein, +  brother-in-law Rich Fobes on piano.

Tim Meadows hosts the Second City/NBC Breakout Festival June 3-4.  We're up on Saturday June 4th both shows.  Lola Balatro plays a super long set with deep cuts and even deeper cuts at the Elbo Room  - and even a our first cover...Come and hang out for that one - only $5.
