7th heaven Newsletter May 2009
Welcome to the 7th heaven May Newslettter
Warm weather has arrived! We have been working on booking the last few summer dates. We have been working on our new medley. We'll be recording this soon, so look for that. This month we'll be adding more songs to our set to prepare us for the summer. So look for a few more dates to be added to this schedule over the next couple months. So the main purpose for this email to send out our summer schedule.
7th heaven at Durty Nellies tonight
We'll be at Durty Nellies tonight (Friday May 8) at 11pm and play a long set of music. Durty Nellies is one of the best places to see us at. We'll be shooting some video footage tonight as well. This one of the last clubs shows we'll be doing for a while.
Cinco De Mayo - El Sombrero - Tent Festival
Each year around this time we play a festival in a tent. It's kinda our way to kick off the summer season. So this Saturday May 9 we will be in Mt. Prospect at El Sombrero at 8pm. We'll do a short unplugged set afterwards inside. Call to check on if this show is all-ages, they usually allow kids with parents.
