If you’re free and in Chicago tonight, come get cozy with us at our favorite hang, the Gallery Cabaret. Cheap drinks and good live music all night. Lots of friends will be hanging out enjoying each others’ company, you should join too. Show up around 9:30, 2020 N Oakley. We put together a great lineup of music for you: Joseph Messing and the Wisemen, Antony and the Tramps, Low End Theory (west african drum ensemble), and Good Evening. Free show too!

Thanks to Illinois Entertainer for selecting the Wise Men as part of their year end top 10 local favorites. 2011 was a great year for the band, with an album release in July, a national tour to Texas in October, and many incredible shows along the way. Thank you to all of the fans who came out and sang along, danced, or even just tapped their toes in support. Great things are coming in 2012!

After an incredible tour that had us performing 10 out of 11 nights including 4 nights in Austin Texas and an incredible performance during the “Occupy Austin” rally, the Wise Men have returned to Chicago. Thank you to everyone who helped us along the way, and please check in for videos  and photos from the tour. Check out Joseph playing in the tour van outside of Memphis, with a tired voice.
