On behalf of everyone at SmoothChicago.com, we hope you have an enjoyable and safe

4th of July holiday. To start the fireworks early - we have a special ticket discount

offer to show our appreciation to our frequent show goers. Details are below.......

We hope you will join us for our shows this month (coming up very soon) starring Paul Taylor & Maysa Leak. For a preview of these shows, be sure to check out the videos we have links to in this e-blast. All shows are now on sale - and with all seats reserved, the very best seats go to those that get their tickets early.

While Chicago's weather this summer is hotter then ever, the great news is our shows are indoors. While the live music of Maysa & Paul Taylor will be HOT, the venue is air conditioned and your comfort throughout the show is guaranteed. As is always the case, you'll have a chance to meet the artists after the show.

Visit SmoothChicago.com everyday!

While hosting live shows and events thoughout Chicagoland is our primary business that pays the bills - there is much more going on at our website.

While we wait for a radio option to return to the FM dial - in the meantime,

you can listen to Smooth Jazz via your computer and

SmoothChicago.com 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

SmoothChicago.com also has hundreds of High Quality live performance videos from past shows. Videos are added often and we still have many hours of video clips still to upload. These are all professionally shot via multiple cameras and direct audio feeds.

thousands of other Chicago area music fans have already done.

PLEASE SUPPORT LIVE MUSIC

and bring some friends to an upcoming show!

While this music format disappears from terrestrial radio around the country, the "LIVE" jazz shows in the Chicago area continue in a big way. Here at SmoothChicago.com we have many great shows on our schedule with more shows all around Chicagoland in the planning stages. But the music can only happen if the fans continue to come out and support these talented musicians that create all this great music.

While we'll do all that we can to get this format back on FM, there is no disputing the fact that listening to a CD can never do justice to what fans experience at a LIVE performance. As frequent show goers already know, a studio recording just can not match the energy and excitement of a live show with one of the stars of contemporary jazz.

The other thing to remember is - the artists that make the music we all love have families and bills to pay too. While it helps them become more well known, jazz artists They don't make a living from radio airplay. They make their living from traveling around the country playing live shows for their fans.

We hope you will join us for several of our upcoming shows and please encourage your friends to do the same. As long as you do - this great music will be around for a long time and Chicago will continue to be a stop on all your favorite artists tour schedules!
