We had an excellent time opening for Chicago legends and labelmates, New Duncan Imperials at the historic FitzGerald's Nightclub in Berwyn, Illinois, on Saturday, July 27, 2019! It was a great way to end our year. Looking forward to 2020! Thanks to Richard Hall for the superb pictures!
Our chart count for "Once" hits 35 with two more Top Tens for the week of July 7, 2019, bringing our career total chart entries to 335!!

New Duncan Imperials w/ Thrift Store Halo
Fitzgerald's Nightclub, 6615 Roosevelt Rd., Berwyn, IL 60402
We're thrilled to be opening for the trashier-than-ever New Duncan Imperials! Both NDI and TSH are celebrating the release of new records on Pravda Records / Pravda Music Publishing!
2019 marks NDI's 30th Anniversary and TSH's 25th, which just goes to show some things (like fine wine, trousers, hair tonic, music and musicians) get better with age! If you know anything about TSH's early days, you'll recall that TSH opened for NDI several times in the 1990s and the shows were always a blast! This show at Fitzgerald's will certainly be no exception. It's gonna be just like the "old days"!! Also, it is highly likely this will be the last TSH performance for quite some time, so we hope you'll come out for a night of insanely good live music at a killer venue!

A Benefit for Andy featuring Thrift Store Halo
Frank G's good friend and fellow Benet Academy alum (Class of '91), Andy Stout was diagnosed with a brain tumor on June 4, 2018. Andy underwent immediate emergency surgery on June 5th to remove a dangerous glioblastoma the size of a large lemon. He is the is the incredible father to 2 young kids, Rowan (7) and Callum (5). He has dedicated his life to raising his children, as well as teaching acting and participating in TV shows when he had the chance. Unfortunately, given his current medical hardship, Andy cannot continue working and has no income to pay his medical expenses, not to mention helping care for his 2 amazing kiddos.
So, to help out, Thrift Store Halo and friends, Jameson Shakes, are hosting a fundraiser with the proceeds going to help Andy with medical bills and insurance deductibles.
