********Friday March 17th 2017 at Empty Bottle in Chicago********
The Band returns to the Empty Bottle stage Friday March 17th to perform songs from all Dorian Taj releases. This will be very cool in the fact that also on the bill are Husker Dudes who are a Husker Du cover band whose songs hold a special place in D.T’s heart. It is also St. Patrick’s Day which is dear to the heart of Chicago. Also appearing will be Eric Mahle of the band Sunken Ships who will open the night with some solo acoustic jams. Empty Bottle is located at 1031 N Western in Chicago. www.emptybottle.com Proceeds for this night will be benefiting Center on Halsted which you can read more about below.
