We are stepping in for our friends Substitute, who were originally slated for this show, but due to an injury could not make it. The fantastic Table 5 Acoustic will be kicking off the evening. Please join us!
We will soon be announcing more 2017 shows!!
Thank you to everyone that came to the Summerfest show! We enjoyed playing for you! Thank you for listening and we hope you enjoyed the performance.
Thank you for opportunity to introduce some new material (songs that will be on our upcoming CD). What a great festival, what a great day, and we so thankful for the chance to do what we love!

We hope this post finds you well! We continue to track for the next CD. There are a lot of influences that are emerging with the songs. Some may be pretty obvious if you know us well and some are a bit subtle.
As we reflect upon the lyrics we can see themes emerging. We address loss, time, new beginnings, and leaving worries behind.
It’s really a pleasure to take the songs and collectively “grow them” in the recording process. We look forward to playing these songs for you down the road.
Stay tuned!
A big thank you to everyone for making the March shows a great success! Thank you Dixon, O’Connor’s Perfect Pint, and Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co.! We had an absolute blast and it was an honor to play for you!!
Slainte!
Several members of The Gleasons will be playing at O’Connor’s Perfect Pint at noon on St. Patrick’s Day.
C’mon in and raise your pints!!
We are excited to announce a new show! We will be playing the post parade party in Dixon, IL on 3/12!
