Appearing at Metro, Saturday, January 4, 2025: Nicholas Tremulis & the Prodigals present Boneyard Rhapsody #65, featuring DJ Joe Shanahan & special guests. This promises to be a wall-rattling, roof-shaking, night of live music.

To preview the event, I met Joe Shanahan (Metro founder) and Nicholas Tremulis in the Metro balcony for a conversation that includes:

*When Nicholas first met Joe in the early 80s.

*Their shared love of music (and sharing of music), spanning multiple decades.

*The sheer enormousness of Nicholas’ band. It stands at 15 members, but surely he can find a few more before January 4th?

*The event benefits Collaboraction: Nicholas explains their mission.

*Metro’s ability to thrive and grow amidst constant change and disruption in Wrigleyville through the years.

*Nicholas’ history of collaborating with, well, everyone. He’s an “elder statesman” at this point; is he still learning?

*The importance of music discovery.

*Joe’s approach to DJ-ing events.

*The ever-growing list of live music venues in Chicago

 

Joe and Nicholas have known each other forever, which made this a very easy conversation to record. In many cases, I just sat back and let the old friends talk and riff. It was a great experience.

The first great show of 2025 is on the calendar: See you at Metro!
