August 18th show just added!
Hey everyone,
Just a quick note to let you all know that Michelle has been invited to perform at the "Palette and Chisel Academy of Fine Arts" on August 18th. This is another fundraiser held by the fine people at the New Theater Collective who put together the Equinox event back in June. Michelle will be playing 2 sets, between 7 and 10 pm. There is no cover and you must RSVP in order to attend. Anyone who is in Chicago and would like to attend the show, please email me at mat@michellecross.com and I will either get you an invite or let you know who to call in order to RSVP.
