CHIRP Radio welcomes singer-songwriter, artist, and writer Bill Callahan to Lincoln Hall!
“Bill Callahan showed up on our porch in 1991 saying his name was Smog. We took him in and he has been with us ever since. We think you will feel the same way about him once you look into his hungry eyes.
Over the years he reminisced about ‘Cold Blooded Old Times’ and told us to ‘Dress Sexy At My Funeral,’ releasing over twenty records as Smog and then, unfettered, as Bill Callahan. He is a recording studio guru, a tastefully rampant singer-songwriter, a heartthrob, a visual artist, a statesman for the times, and an author.”

Karin Fjellman writesTonight! CHIRP Night at the Whistler with Male and Colorlist
It’s the third Monday of the month, and that means CHIRP and the Whistler have concocted a great set of music and cocktails for you this fine evening! Tonight’s lineup stars Male and Colorlist, as well as the DJ skills of CHIRP’s own Michael Flavor. Oh, and did we mention that we’ll be raffling off passes to Pitchfork Festival? No, sir or ma’am, that ain’t a typo. It’s a total steal, if you consider that there’s no cover to get in! See you there.
