Two previews of this weekend’s upcoming shows at Mike N’ Molly’s in Champaign-Urbana, the first preview courtesy of Rob McColley for Smile Politely, Champaign-Urbana’s Online Magazine, and the second courtesy of Melissa Merli for the News-Gazette, Champaign-Urbana’s print paper of record.

The shows are Friday night, August 7, 8:00-12:00, with opening sets by the Duke of Uke and His Novelty Orchestra, then Edward Burch and friends. On Sunday afternoon, August 9, 4:00-7:00, we’ll be doing a family-friendly show in the same location with a Viper sandwich of Edward Burch in the middle.

If you are lucky enough to call Elizabeth Majerus and Matt Mitchell friends, you might also be able to catch us playing at their 10-year anniversary party on Saturday evening…with a surprise guest suitcase player.
