Hey folks,


Kristi at ChessWhad-a-ya know?  It finally stopped raining.  Welcome to the October edition of Where & When.  There's no time to waste.  Grab your hat and head out the door right now to catch Mark Zeus and yours truly at Honky Tonk BBQ TONIGHT!  There's a special treat in store:  Kristi Heaton, one of Houston's finest vocalists decided to pay a visit to Chicago and will be joining us tonight.  During her visit, we had a chance to stop by Chess Records at 2120 S. Michigan Ave. and Kristi got to visit with Willy, Muddy, and Buddy—or their spirits anyway. 



Honky Tonk PicSAT. OCTOBER 1st 10:00PM ― HONKY TONK BBQ

1213 W. 18th St., Chicago, IL 60608

Mark and I are making our Honky Tonk BBQ debut and we are thrilled to be part of this venue's entertainment lineup. They host some of the best music that Chicago has to offer, and Willie Wagoner, the owner, has won deserved admiration for his tasty bar-be-que. I sat down recently with the family and we polished off a table full of deliciousness.  I'm a huge fan of the place, obviously. This will be a fun night you don't want to miss.

Moher PicSAT. OCTOBER 8th 9:30PM ―MOHER PUBLIC HOUSE

5310 W. Devon St., Chicago, IL 60646

The Kris & Marlon Show returns to Moher Public House.  There's free parking, great beer on tap, and US!  Afterwards, we're going to head out to the nearby forest preserve and go snipe hunting.  If you've never been snipe hunting before, join us and you can hold the snipe net.


Globe PicSUN. OCTOBER 9th 7:00PM―SONGWRITER SHOWCASE AT THE GLOBE THEATER

105 North 3rd St. Greenville, IL 62246


The Kris & Marlon Show goes on the Road!

We are pleased to be taking part in Erin O'Toole's Songwriter Showcase at The Globe Theater in Greenville, Illinois. This is our third trip down to this region where the folks are friendly and the music sublime. We are pleased to join our lovely host for a night of great music and fun. Gas up the Bentley, it's a road date.



Bernice's PicSAT. OCTOBER 15th 9:30PM―BERNICE'S TAVERN

3238 S. Halsted St. Chicago, IL



The Kris & Marlon Show returns to Bernice's Tavern! We played this place a little while back and fell in love with it. The staff, the regulars, the jukebox—and the fact that they'd have us back—makes this joint special. These folks love music, and that makes them our kind of folk. Join us; won't you?




CJ Arthur Pic

WED. OCTOBER 26th 8:30PM―CJ ARTHUR'S

1168 Wilmette Ave., Wilmette, IL 60091

The Kris & Marlon Show is pleased to announce our upcoming debut at CJ Arthur's. This place is a North Shore institution and a place to find good live music all through the week. It's just a stone's throw from our redoubt in Glenview as well. It would sure be great to see some of our North Shore friends at this one.


...And so there you have it.  We sure look forward to you joining us out on the town.  But remember:  if this month finds you busier than a set of jumper cables at a clan rally, we will be making some music in November back at Moher's, Lovell's and at Bridie McKenna's in Highwood.  Until then, Happy Halloween and GO BEARS!
