Acoustic Chicago Has a New Partner: Climate Cycle Ride
 

We love to try and save the environment. We recycle, we traded in our SUV for a hybrid, we even stopped buying bottled water. But we still need help, so we've partnered with Climate Cycle, a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing global warming and educating the youth of America about the values of going green.

Climate Cycle, the champion of alternative energy, is hosting a bike ride on October 4th, along Chicago's southern lakefront, with three different courses tailored to the recreational biker to the Lance Armstrong look-a-likes.

Check out our partner Climate Cycle as well as more information on the ride.

 

Leafy Greens and Acoustic Chicago: FlavorFest 2008

What's better than a few days full of reminders to eat vegetables with plenty of roughage? A few days with Acoustic Chicago! The Whole Foods Market FlavorFest is a two-day food festival featuring all sorts of activities and events, as well as several performances by Acoustic Chicago artists including Shannon Fortune, Micki Croisant, Sarah Potenza, Mike Mangione and Jen Porter.

The Schedule can show you more.

 

Coming Soon-ish: Acoustic Chicago Enhanced CD

Sooner or later, the Acoustic Chicago Enhanced CD is going to come to fruition. Honestly, we would have had it out already but all of these bells and whistles can get tangled which just makes everything such a mess.

Eventually, the Stonecutter store will have copies available. For now, why don't you just browse around.

 

Acoustic Chicago: Playing in Aisle 5, Next to the Organic Cheeses

The Andreas Kapsalis Trio is heading up the three-day Acoustic Chicago event by bringing his ridiculous guitar skills to Whole Foods Market on July 16th. The Trio will be playing from 1-3, but the entire day will be filled with activities and giveaways for the young to the young at heart.

Don't believe us? See the schedule.

Put it on your calendar now-ish: The Andreas Kapsalis Trio's latest album Chimera is finished and ready for its release in late summer/early fall. As soon as we hear a bonafide release date, we'll pass it along.

Mike Mangione is Taste-y

From 12-12:45 on July 3rd, Acoustic Chicago's Mike Mangione will be playing at the Taste of Chicago. We could tell you why you cant miss out on Mike's free performance, but we'll have Chicago's monthly magazine UR Chicago explain:

"If you think you'd like Damien Rice as a country star, you would be golden, because this is it. His second album, Tenenbrae (Latin for "shadows"), is set to be released August 5, but before he inevitably skyrockets to fame, you can see him at Taste of Chicago on July 3."

Damien Rice as a country star? We'll take that as a compliment.
