David Kav: Home

Hello everyone!

Wow. I seriously can not fathom that it is July 2008 as I type this. A LOT going on around here, there, and everywhere! Including...

A GIG AT UNCOMMON GROUND in Wrigleyville. Woo-hoo! Guys, I am excited about this one:

Thurs. July 17, 2008
(with Matt Ryd)
Uncommon Ground
3800 N. Clark
Chicago, IL. 60613
CALL FOR RESERVATIONS ASAP at (773) 929-3680! This is a very small, intimate space and it is GUARANTEED that the room will fill up! Please - make sure that you're included in the bunch (don't make me say, "I told you so!")

Other than that, doing another in-house residency for WineStyles - 1240 S. Michigan (www.winestyles.net/michigan) EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT from 6 pm to 8 pm (oh, and FREE WINE TASTING every Thursday...during the gig!)

Still putting together the artwork, still rocking, still rolling...with the music and the punches!

Peace, love and music,
David Kav

Hello, you!

I know, I know. You just received some news from me. However, a
number of errors from my last newsletter have come to my attention. So,
I'm taking this time to rectify them.

1) In-house residency every Thursday night at:
WineStyles (my deepest apologies, guys. You've been MUCH MORE than
good to me.)
1240 S. Michigan
Chicago, IL. 60605
312-431-9999
www.winestyles.net/michigan
FREE WINE TASTING EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT from
6 pm to 8 pm
(Always - good wine, cigars....good food and weekly surprises...by
some of the friendliest facilitators that I have come to know. If you
have not been to a Wine Tasting at WineStyles, you seriously owe it to
yourself to check it out!)

2) SATURDAY, JUNE 21st, 2008
BERWYN CENTENNIAL celebration
Located behind Cermak Plaza on Harlem near Cermak Road
Admission is FREE
(with full carnival for the family!)
Showtime: 3 pm
(Thanks for bringing that to my attention, Crawford. I can see where
the confusion would lie.) :D

3) SATURDAY, JUNE 28th, 2008
FESTIVAL IN THE PARK
in
Three Oaks, MI. 49128
ADMISSION: FREE!
(Looking forward to this event as well! This will be my FIRST SHOW
in Michigan. Thanks to Mr. David Fink for bringing this bit of news
re: admission to my attention as well.) :D

And...I mentioned the Semi-Finals at Uncommon Ground this evening at
3800 N. Clark in Wrigleyville. Well, I must admit that a LOT of my
friends have the right to say, "I told you so!" This includes Crystal
Bowersox (one of the finalists) when I tell you

I MADE THE FINALS - TAKING PLACE THIS WEDNESDAY! WOO-HOO!

However, ANOTHER correction: I mentioned that the FINALS were taking
place at the Grace location. The actual location of this Wednesday's
finals is at:

UNCOMMON GROUND
1401 W. DEVON
Chicago, IL. 60660
773-465-9801
www.uncommonground.com

The music will start at 8:30 pm and I will be competing with 13 other
finalists (both from tonight's location on Grace AND from the
finalists that will advance from the Devon location after Tuesday's
Semi-Finals round there.) Guys, it'd be great to see as many of you
on Wednesday as possible!

Ok. Much longer than I anticipated. However, I thank you all for
your patience and understanding in this matter. I am tired - but
still floating from the news of tonight's competition. Let me just
tell you - the talent tonight was OUTSTANDING. So, in my mind, we
were ALL winners. Thanks so much!

Peace, love and music,
David Kav

Hello you, beautiful person! ;D

I KNOW that I've waited to send this out in regards to June.
However, wanted to let you know about a couple of shows that I'm doing
this month. AND - I am thoroughly excited about the CD RELEASE PARTY
in September (I know that it's a LONG WAY AWAY. However, I'm really
trying to drum up as much anticipation and excitement in everyone in
the same way that I am brimming with it!)

CD RELEASE PARTY!
The new CD "Better You Here Than Alone" is SET to be released
Saturday, September 13th, 2008 at:
Goose Island Brewery (Wrigleyville)
3535 N. Clark
Chicago, IL. 60657
773-832-9040
http://www.gooseisland.com/pubs/wrigleyville.asp
Cover: $5 at the door (just tell them "David Kav" sent ya!) :D
(with Swizzle Tree and a FULL BAND to back me up. Other acts TBA.)
Many, many thanks to Swizzle Steve from Swizzle Tree for helping me
in setting this up (Hell, he does the booking for this great venue.
:D)
Also, I failed to mention in the newsletter the other person who is responsible for getting me this awesome venue for September:

Nik Wielgus (of Swizzle Tree,) you are my true partner-in-crime...in music, in spirit, in life. Thanks, my man! :D I couldn't have made it this far without your wisdom, love and support!

See you at the show!

Peace, love and music,
David Kav

p.s. The Promoter's Ordinance has been squashed! Many thanks to EVERYONE who raised their voices in this matter! But, keep your eyes and ears open. Love you, Chicago (and our family across the U.S!) :D
