Went out to the Empty Bottle to catch The Beauty Shop. Still one of my favorite bands. John Hoeffleur’s unique voice always takes me places. Sometimes to glory and sometime to the depths of despair, but where ever the destination, each song is a hell of a ride. It was nice to see Eric Fisher, formerly with Lorenzo Goetz, playing with the band. There is some amazing music coming out of Champaign/Urbana lately. I think someone should check the water (and then bottle it and spread the magic).
