Attention B-3er, Uncle Skid,

[Joe G]

Brad Shepik will be bringing his trio (Scott Colley, b., and Tom Rainey, d.) to UICA in Grand Rapids Friday night at 9.

BRAD SHEPIK TRIO

December 5

Guitarist/composer Brad Shepik will bring his exotic sound to UICA at 9 PM, Friday, December 5. Shepik’s most recent release, Drip, with the Brad Shepik Trio, was featured on NPR’s All Things Considered, which called the record, “Classic, but also defiant and new – the jazz guitar record you’ve been missing forever.” Tickets are $13 for the general public and $10 for UICA members.

Are you free to go Jim? Skid? Anyone?

[Uncle Skid]

I'm free, and that sounds great! I see you guys are playing there on Jan 23, also.

I'll check with the boss, and send you a PM.

Thanks!

-- Mark

Strange coincidence - my wife and I will be at UICA earlier in the evening for another event.

[Joe G]

That is strange! How much earlier?

[Chuck Nessa]

UICA's annual Holiday Artist's Market is taking place from 5 'til 9. My wife is a potter and a couple of her friends will be selling stuff there. Last year we ran into Lazaro and family at the event.

[Joe G]

It would be nice to meet you and your wife. I'm not sure how we'd coordinate that, but I'm sure something could be figured out if you're up for it.

[Chuck Nessa]

That would be good. We may be there 'til late (9:00).

[Jim Alfredson]

I am playing Billy's that night with the Grand River Blue Cats so I cannot attend. But it would be fun! I wish I could get up to the pottery sale with the wifey... we LOVE handmade pottery. She's actually taken a pottery class but had to pass on it this year.
