Vasilios Gaitanos
Chicago's Greek Troubadour, Vasilios Gaitanos performs
The Classic Elliniko Songbook.
His haunting interpretations of timeless compositions awaken our philosophical passions about life.
And just as we begin to contemplate over a glass of wine,
he whisks us away on a whistful journey of Greek summer nights of honeysuckle & jasmine dancing on vines under a romantic sky.
Joined by Special Guest, the Lovely Demetra Gaitanos.

Jeannie Lambert w/Andy Brown & Special Guest, Greg Fishman
Chicago Jazz great, Ms. Jeannie Lambert,
interprets each lyric as a haunting poem
from the long gone days of Billie Holiday Cafe Society.
Her phrasing is colored by life experience;
leaving one with want of a smoky scotch
born of timeless oak
when the smoke of one's cigarette danced in the candlelight.
Accompanied by Sweet Andy Brown whose guitar will lull you into nostalgic seduction.
Special Guest Artist, The wonderful Saxophonist, Greg Fishman!
