VESICA
PISCES IMPRESSES…
Borders & Music of
Michigan Avenue was the place to be for rockers when the band, VESICA
PISCES, fronted by the sultry singer Kelly
Fitzgerald, played selections from their new CD – Halfway To Naked.
Their impressive
performance inspired a good deal of folks present to purchase the
albums, which was produced by Grammy Award winning knob turner, Jack Douglas (John Lennon, Aerosmith, Cheap Trick).
The band won the 2000
Los Angeles Music Award for “Best
Adult Contemporary Artist” and is currently out on tour with
Chicago rock icons, Cheap Trick. BLANCHARD
BLOWS AT BORDERS…
Trumpet player TERENCE
BLANCHARD performed some red hot numbers for a room full of Chicago
jazz fanatics at Border’s Books & Music Michigan Avenue store last month.
Just a couple of doors
down the street at the newly opened H&M, shopping fanatics lined up
for blocks to get in. The
store occupies the space that formerly housed FAO
Schwartz. BEDTIME
STORIES FOR ADULTS…
In what’s best
described as Bedtime Stories for Adults... “Sex
in The City” producer and writer, CINDY
CHUPACK, had a good sized crowd laughing at Border’s
Books & Music on Michigan Avenue as she read chapters aloud from
her new book – “Between
Boyfriends.” JESSE
“COOKS” ON GUITAR FOR FANS…
Guitarist JESSE
COOK brought his Flamenco-inspired style music to Borders
Books & Music on Michigan Avenue last month and was a hit.
Cook, who was accompanied by his stellar band, plays mostly
instrumental pieces. One
could scarcely hear book pages being turned in the aisles as the large
lunchtime crowd were so drawn into the artist’s spell-binding style of
music. PETERIK
PERFORMS…
Chicago radio
celebrity, BOB STROUD,
stopped by Border’s Books &
Music on Michigan Ave last month to catch a performance by his
friend JIM PETERIK & The Ides Of
March. Peterik was also
kept busy signing copies of his new book, “Songwriting
for Dummies.”
Jim Peterik will perform for Midwest
BEAT’s “Pointe East 20th Anniversary Reunion” on Oct. 18 at Second
Dimensions in Schererville, Indiana.
