| Aaron Lee Tasjan at The Double Door, November 12, 2014. |
With the holidays and Donovan being on a stay-cation, I completely lost track of what day of the week it is. So, without further ado...here's my Shutter To Think for this week.
As you should already know, Donovan and I play in a band with four of our friends, Torch Singer. As you may not already know, Donovan also plays and makes art in another local band, Curio. For me, this means I get to stay off-stage and take pictures, which is great. Back in November, they played to a packed house at The Double Door here in Chicago with The Legendary Shack Shakers, Aaron Lee Tasjan, and Robert Rolfe Feddersen.
I really loved Aaron Lee Tasjan's performance, and ended up listening to his songs on Spotify a few times over. Which brings me to my Best Music of 2014 (new to me in 2014; not necessarily the world).
