ChickenFat learned the klezmer tradition and developed our sound under the excellent mentorship of two great musicians, Jon Spiegel and Stuart Rosenberg.   Chicago gets a rare treat this Saturday when the two of them perform together at SPACE.  From the website:

Together, Rosenberg & Spiegel anchored the legendary Otters band, which had an amazing 5-year run of Tuesday performances at Schuba’s in the 20th century. This evening will recreate that magic musical adventure, as well as create some amazing new ones.

I was lucky enough to catch the last Otter’s reunion show, and I recommend checking out this concert. Rumor has it they’ll be throwing in some klezmer tunes.

Saturday, January 29,  8pm.

Speaking of SPACE, we’ll be opening for Caravan of Thieves there on February 16. More info to come.
