This is a live music event to showcase local songwriters.
I’ll start out at 6:00 with a set of my songs.
Then we will hear from our featured songwriters:
Don Srebro
Don writes inventive songs of relationships, love and stories about life. Don uses his fine tenor voice and lively guitar style to tell his engaging stories. He also has some great new songs to add to his songbook which he will be sharing with us at this event. Don’s new songs are taking some departures from his earlier work and makes for quite a variety of styles and subject matter within his sets.
Billy Klein and Ted Spaniak - A.K.A. Loretto Lane
These prolific songwriters are great performers and have a wide variety of original music to play for you. Both Billy and Ted are stylistic singers and write songs in multi-genre style. They also perform frequently at songwriter events.
Ted is a top-notch piano and guitar player and multi-styled songwriter. He performs frequently with the well-known rock band Strung Out all throughout the Chicagoland area.
Billy has a wonderful voice and acoustic guitar style with many songs written for our veterans and touching songs of life and love. Together they provide an energetic mix of upbeat songs and heart-felt ballads ranging from slick humor to deadly serious.
There is a wonderful full album of recordings under the Loretto Lane band name. Please talk to Billy or Ted about how to obtain a copy of their CD “Love and Trouble”.

Don Hollingshead
Don has been playing music on and off for about 50 years.
He began playing with his friend Greg Short as an acoustic duo at a few small places in the Hobart, Indiana area.
It was then our pleasure to be joined by Mike Gajdik, and we became an acoustic trio known as The Three Rivers band.
We then evolved into an electric band and formed The Hoi Polloi band. Hoi Polloi played all around the Northwest Indiana for about 10 years in the 90's.
Recently, Don and Mike have done a few open mic shows a year while concentrating on our original music.
