I am very excited to announce I am starting a monthly LGBT music event, to be held at The Elbo Room (2871 N. Lincoln Ave. Chicago, IL 60657)on the LAST SUNDAY OF EACH MONTH, starting Sunday, January 30th, 2011.I will be held from 8 to Midnight and will feature 3 queer bands on the lower level stage, and 3 acoustic acts on the first floor stage.
We will feature bands from the Chicago area, but also some surprise acts from other major cities, (and small towns- maybe even Hooterville!).
Thus far, the response has been great. ABSOLUTE Fringe has been embraced by our community, and I must say the enthusiasm of Brian Bender, the General Manager and Talent Buyer for The Elbo Room has been nothing short of surprising. In my years of playing in straight clubs, I have always had to convince the club. Brian came to us. Brian has said that he believes he has booked L acts, G acts, B acts and even T acts at the Elbo Room. But with ABSOLUTE Fringe, he is going to get 6 LGBT acts in one fabulous night!
Stay tuned for more surprises. Chicago's biggest night of queer entertainment may have more surprises up its poofy sleeves. And keep the last Sunday of the month open in all of 2011.
Cheers!
Tim Cain
