Strap on your running shoes, because Jesse Linder will be all over the Chicagoland area for the St. Patrick’s Day weekend. Performing with both Cappamore and CrossRogues, as well as on his own, you can see Jesse perform at five shows at four different locations between March 14 and 17. Beginning Friday, March 14, come see CrossRogues (minus Barb) playing at Real Time Sports in Elk Grove Village from 8:00 to Midnight. This will be the first time in a while that we have played a non-Irish bar, but since everyone’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, we should fit right in. After a day off (and church on Sunday morning), you can see Cappamore – Brian Leo and Jesse Linder – entertaining the crowd at Blarney Island, a/k/a Port of Blarney, on the Chain o’ Lakes in Antioch. Imagine an Irish pub in Key West, and you will get an idea of the vibe of this fun venue, actually located on an island. This will be Jesse’s first visit to Blarney Island, and Cappamore’s first St. Pat’s show, so come and show your support. Then on Monday, St. Patrick’s Day, CrossRogues will be appearing at two of our favorite venues. If you have the afternoon off, join us at Duke O'Brien’s in Crystal Lake from 11:30 to 2:00. Come hear Rob, Lucas, Barb, and Jesse entertain the lunch crowd. In the mood for a little "dinner music" instead? The quartet makes its way to the incomparable Durty Nellie’s in downtown Palatine. There will be a full day of music in Nellie’s concert room, and CrossRogues gets to entertain the dinner crowd from 6:15 to 9:00. Finally, to end the day (and the weekend), Jesse Linder will perform a solo set at Durty Nellie’s Pub Stage from 10:00 to midnight. * * * So here's the schedule with all the pertinent details: CrossRogues – 3/14, 8:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. REAL TIME SPORTS 1120-22 West Devon Ave. Elk Grove Village, IL 60007 Phone: (847) 534-5000 www.realtimesportsbar.com Cappamore – 3/16, 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. BLARNEY ISLAND / PORT OF BLARNEY 27843 W.
