Al Day & Bob Long Appearing Saturday, March 10th in Skokie!

St. Tim's Coffeehouse is proud to offer the distinctive sound of these two artists: jazz notes and energy plus great folk roots music!

Mark your calendars! St. Tim’s Coffeehouse is excited to present the duo of Al Day and Bob Long on March 10th. They’ll bring a jazz energy to our stage, a departure from our normal acoustic folk entertainment. But AL DAY is not a stranger to WFMT’s Midnight Special or WTTW’s Sound Stage. Rich Warren from WFMT says “Al Day is brilliant and completely original.” His rough gravelly voice is engaging. Al’s songwriting skills supply himself, and other artists with original material. The Chicago Reader wrote “Singer-songwriter Al Day’s unique vocal style and striking beautiful music receives enthusiastic responses whenever he plays. Al’s appeal is heightened by his unusual voice which is as versatile as his music is diverse.”

BOB LONG began his professional career as a jazz pianist forty years ago. He first recorded in Chicago with the jazz fusion band Streetdancer in 1974. Bob has performed at New York’s JVC Jazz Festival, Switzerland’s Montreaux Jazz Festival, and the North Sea Jazz Festival in the Netherlands as well as the Chicago Jazz Festival. Gifted as a pianist, Bob was also awarded a Fulbright scholarship in 2011-2012 for historical research in Spain. Recently, he received his Ph.D. in history and has moved back to the Chicago area to perform music and teach. Currently he is an adjunct professor in the History Department of Elmhurst College, as well as keyboard instructor at the School of Rock, Evanston.

Join us MARCH 10 AT 7 pm for an evening of witty conversation and superb musical entertainment. Doors open at 6:30 PM. $20 donation. Advance sale tickets are available through https://www.brownpapertickets.... as well as the evening of the performance (cash or checks. No credit cards).
