Pencil This In: CHIRP Radio Present's 'The First Time' - First Move

By Chuck Sudo in Arts & Entertainment on Apr 16, 2014 5:30PM

CHIRP Radio's quarterly live lit and music series "The First Time" returns to Martyrs' 8 p.m. tonight with the theme "first move." Featured readers include Hot Doug's owner Doug Sohn, Jonny Imerman of Imerman Angels, CHIRP DJ Cher Vincent, Story Club founder Dana Norris, Don Hall (The Moth StorySlam Host and House Manager for WBEZ's "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me"), playwright Barrie Cole and Comedian Michael Sanchez. Each story will be followed by a song played by "The First Time Three" of Steve Frisbie, Liam Davis and Gerald Dowd.

We love "The First Time" here at Chicagoist and several current and former Chicagoistos and Chicagoistas have performed in the series and it is a blast. Get your tickets here.
