Join us every Thursday in Bourbon ‘N Brass in Bourbon ‘N Brass Speakeasy, located on the 2nd floor of the Des Plaines Theatre. Local musicians will be invited to perform in the intimate Speakeasy, allowing them to showcase their talent in this brand-new Speakeasy. These events are FREE with food and hand-crafted cocktails available for purchase. Attending a speakeasy-style musical show is a great way to experience the history and culture of music. The intimate setting allows for a more personal connection between the audience and the performers, creating a memorable and enjoyable evening for all involved.Brother John has been a resident musician at Buddy Guy’s Legends in Chicago for over 30 years. Through his work with Chicago blues greats Buddy Guy & Otis Rush, he has jammed with Eric Clapton, Steve Miller, auditioned for the Black Crowes (in 1998, but they hired Jimmy Page instead), and acquired ringing endorsements from many other musicians of renown. For example: Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant had seen John play with Otis Rush at the Jazz Café in London. When Plant and Kattke met in person at the United Center in Chicago, Plant told Kattke: “You play a mean guitar!” George Benson came to the jam session that Kattke hosts at Buddy Guy’s Legends in Chicago. After hearing the opening set that John played with his band, Benson told him: “You’re fearless! I thought I was fearless! You’re fearless!”
No RSVP required. Seating is first-come, first-seated.
