About Me
Currently Andy Levenburg of Chemtrails and I are playing LONG sets @ Dukes on Thursdays. There's always somethin good going on there.Old No. 8 formed in Chicago in 1998. Mixing a country-fried rhythm section with tasty lap steel, scorching guitar and rich four-part harmonies, the five-piece quickly built a large, loyal following of music lovers who long for the days when outlaws ruled country radio and rock and roll ruled America. Energetic, outspoken, sarcastic and oftentimes crude, the band earned a reputation for its electrifying live shows as well as for its refusal to compromise its musical integrity.On July 4th, 2003, Old No. 8 released Double Barrel, a blazing two-disc live set recorded in Chicago. Mixed with Jay Bennett (Wilco), the album features brand new material, reworked favorites, and, of course, plenty of the brutally intense jamming that Old No. 8 fans love. Earlier in 2003, Old No. 8 contributed a rocking version of “Indiana Road†to The Songs of Fred Eaglesmith, a tribute compilation released by Twangoff Records.
