Warm Embrace
We all knew it was gonna happen eventually. I mean, this is Chicago. You can put it off for awhile, which we did, but sooner or later Winter is going to come. And now, a week into November, it feels like it's here to stay.
Thankfully, they have a remedy in Hinsdale, IL. I've been fortunate enough to be able to play a small restaurant/boutique in downtown Hinsdale called Embrace. It's a cozy, welcoming little spot in the middle of the town, and although it might not appear to be the kind of place you'd find live music at first glance, it's actually set up perfectly for it. The sound in the room is clear and warm. In fact, once upon a time, before "Embrace" came to be, the room was used a theatre, which explains the unusually fine sound. It has a laid back feel, which is conducive to my kind of acoustic music, but they never mind getting the party going a little bit.
Last night, I got another chance to play there, and it didn't disappoint.
Highlights from 11.7.08:
As - Stevie Wonder
Last Dance with Mary Jane - Tom Petty
Normal, IL feat. Justin Hooks on cajon (original)
Love it or Leave it feat. Justin Hooks
Keep up with the right side of my site, I hope to be playing there again soon.
So if you're anywhere near the Hinsdale area, come in from the cold and check out Embrace - where it's always warm.
