Jason Crock writesFair Warning: The First Time Reading Series is Back on October 10th

The First Time Reading Series to benefit CHIRP Radio returns Wednesday, October 10, at 8pm. Readers will write original pieces around a “first time” theme, pick a song to accompany their piece, and then The First Time Three plays their song live, in a stripped-down, acoustic setting.

Next Wednesday’s theme is “First Breakup,” and the The First Time Three (former members of Frisbie) are always down to cover whatever the reader chooses, from whatever genre.

CHIRP Radio’s Andy Weber is among the featured readers, as well as Kevin Robinson from Chicagoist, Holly McDowell, Improviser and writer Kelsey Kinney, singer/songwriter Dan Phillips, and Jenn Kloc. The cover for this 21-and-over show is $10, and the proceeds benefit CHIRP Radio. We’ll see you at the Beat Kitchen, on 2100 W. Belmont Ave!
