Just in time for this weekend’s Snowmaggedon, we are planning to make Winter Go Away in a couple of weeks on Saturday, February 2nd at 8:30 p.m. at Two Brothers Roundhouse, 205 N. Broadway, Aurora, IL.  Please join Richie, Johnny, Chevy, Todd and me to make it go away.  We promise to play a couple of new songs – we’re actually rehearsing!  So please come to a great place for live music and food in Aurora at Two Brothers.

“Everytime I try to get out, they pull me back in!” complains Ray Rehberg.  Yes, it’s true, Ray will be joining Richie and me at the new AC’s Pub, 2124 W.Galena Blvd, Aurora, Illinois 60506 on Saturday, February 9th at 8 p.m.  We’ll do some three-piece acoustic stuff at the new hangout on Aurora’s West side.  All your old friends will be there – and everybody will know your name (or at least have access to your rap sheet), so join us in the F-U-N!

The Empty Can Band will be returning to Two Brothers Roundhouse, 205 N. Broadway in Aurora on Saturday, November 3rd at 8:30 p.m. Fall back with us – the clocks change that night so you can get some extra sleep after dancing your feet off!

The band will consist of the core five guys – Johnny, Todd, Richie, Chevy and me (Dave). We are inching our way through 20 years as a band – Wow!!! We welcome veteran singer/songwriter Dana French as our special opening guest.

For a preview of our performance, check out our latest YouTube video by the amazing Jake Chevalier!

We hope to see you there!
