Miles Maxwell Plays February 23rd at Silvie’s Lounge

We’re pumped to announce that the band will be playing on Friday, February 23rd at Silvie’s Lounge in Chicago!

This is a great small venue on Irving Park in my old neighborhood that’s known for booking up and coming acts into multiple band reviews. We’ll be on for a 45 minute set that night, featuring a boat load of songs that have never been heard in public. It will also be the debut of new bassist Steve Kingwell, who joined the band via a mutual friend in the Oak Park School of Rock program.

This will be a big night with a lot of firsts so I hope you can join us to be a part of our band’s history. More info about the event is available on the venue’s Reverb Nation page.
