Influences
Chicago Acoustic Underground is proud to offer Chicago Singer/Songwriters a "Virtual" Venue to showcase their creative talents. In the seventies and eighties in Chicago there were venues all over the city that gave new talent the exposure they deserved and examples of that era are Steve Goodman, John Prine, and many others. We are presenting this talent to the world through our Podcast. Check these people out at www.chicagoacoustic.net

Michael, thank you so much for the opportunity you gave me as well as all the others you give to make an appearance on your show. I really think what you're doing is great, and it is definitely appreciated by me. It's hard for a solo artist to get any kind of recognition or even any kind of response from anyone connected to any form of media, and you make this possible for somewhat antisocial people like myself, so thank you, and I hope to be working with you soon.
Hi, Michael! Just wanted to say hello... and to invite you to my CD Release show this Sunday, 10/25, 7:00 PM at The Orphanage (643 W. 31st St., Chicago). More on my calendar if you're interested & available... Jessica Fogle will be playing piano, and there's probably more band members who you know...
