Alt-folk rock group, John Michaels & Seven Ships, led by none other than John Michaels himself, has recently released a serious and seriously enjoyable sophomore record.
The Chicago folk outfit puts the depth of their eclectic and seasoned musicians on proud display for the latest release, Other Side of the Stars.
Other Side of the Stars will be out on limited edition vinyl later this year, and the band will be performing tracks from the LP tonight at Uncommon Ground. Grab all of the details you’ll need below.
The LP was engineered and mixed by Brian Zeiske at Gallery of Carpet Recording in Villa Park before it was sent to Chicago Mastering.
Along with the new record, you can check out John Michael’s 2006 debut, A Legend in His Own Mind. Although much more lighthearted than Other Side of the Stars, the debut helped to establish Michaels as a skilled folk rock musician.
Tonight’s show kicks off at 8:00 PM at Uncommon Ground – 3800 North Clark Street. Tickets cost just $6, and you can guarantee seating in the performance area by making a dinner reservation at 773-929-3680.
