Dance this New Year's Eve with Jutta & the Hi-Dukes (tm) and Michael Charles with his Blues band

Here's something really memorable and fun to do this New Year's Eve for an incredibly reasonable price!! Dance some hot Balkan Gypsy Klezmer Boogie and some hard rockin' Blues on a great wooden floor as Evanston's own Jutta & the Hi-Dukes (tm) shares the stage with Michael Charles and his Blues band at Evanston's Fire House Grill. (750 Chicago Ave., just south of Main St.)

Two great, internationally reknown bands, Appetizer Buffet all night, a glass of champagne at Midnight, in a great milieu - all this for just $45 if you buy on-line in advance. And it is still a great deal for $55 at the door!

"[Their] music is exciting, and listeners will find it hard to keep from leaping up to dance," wrote Natalie Wainwright, Music Reviewer for the Evanston Round Table about Jutta & the Hi-Dukes, an Earwig Music Company recording artist.

Dan Kening of the Chicago Tribune wrote that Michael Charles, a Moonlight Label recording artist, is “Australia’s answer to Stevie Ray Vaughan” and Roseanne Tellez from WGN TV compared him to Eric Clapton!

The music of both bands embodies the spirit of: "Life can be rough so let’s eat, drink, and dance now!”
