INTERVENTION featuring Natalie Oliveri

In August of 2009 - Natalie Oliveri hosted her record release show for our weekly INTERVENTION party at Moonshine before a crowd of just under 200 people. The staff, the bosses and the audience loved her so much we decided to bring her back for our Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations for INTERVENTION.

Check out her hit single "Never Too Late" - shot and chopped by our very own Leo Flores.

We caught up with Rashid Hadee - self produced local hip hop legend - on the Magnificent Mile and had him perform "I Get It" right in the middle of Michigan Avenue.

This is rare performance footage, so enjoy and let us know what you think....

HOME DISTILLED LIVE - featuring The Steepwater Band

Chicago Music Project recently joined forces with Beam Global - one of the nation's fastest growing liquor portfolios - to present "Home Distilled Live" at Moonshine.

Taking this veteran rock band out of their element and sticking them in an intimate setting such as Moonshine - whose interior decor just screams rock and roll - for a live unplugged show that CMP's camera crews dutifully capture is what Home Distilled is all about.

Although not all these events will be taking place at Moonshine, CMP is looking into the future for other established rock bands that can perform in more unconventional settings for unplugged shows.

Be a part of CMP's first HOME DISTILLED LIVE on October 29th at Moonshine. For about an hour, CMP's cameras will be rolling and Steepwater Band will do their thing with Jeff Masey's epic guitar solos . . . all before an audience of about 150.

So grab a $2 pint of Moonshine's craft beer, a shot of Beam to go with it and enjoy the show!

MOONSHINE IS LOCATED AT 1824 W DIVISION STREET IN CHICAGO'S WICKER PARK NEIGHBORHOOD. FILMING BEGINS PROMPTLY AT 10PM. CALL 773.862.8686 TO RESERVE YOUR TABLE NOW.

Chicago Music Project - IN THE STUDIO

Chicago Music Project spent some time at Rhythm Cafe for some studio time with Chicago's own Natalie Oliveri.

Calling upon several collaborative artists that Natalie has worked with in the past, to include Rico Sisney of Sidewalk Chalk, and an all star ensemble of soul and jazz musicians from throughout the city. Tawney Newsome, singer from local booze rock band Dirty Rooks, made a guest appearance, flexing her vocal skills for Oliveri's "Too Good to be True" and "Closer", along with Ashley Stevenson.

Natalie Oliveri recently released her EP "Eclectic Soul"; showcasing her musical range with her interpretation of a Latin Guajira in "Muchacha" (featuring her former ensemble, Soulatina) and all the way to her versions of folk, soul and R&B. Her diversity in music is a direct reflection of this wonderful city of Chicago from which she was borne.
