Last night's 4th annual Len & Bob Bash raised over $17,000 for Chicago Cubs Charities thanks to the musical efforts of The Baseball Project, G. Love & Special Sauce, and the Len & Bob Band.



From Bob's special baseball shoes to the great backup singing from the members of The Baseball Project to the check presentation with the Ricketts family, it was a night to remember at the House of Blues

Big News on the Bash!

user-pic
We are delighted to announce the 4th Annual Len & Bob Bash for Cubs Charities, presented by Bud Light, live from the House of Blues in downtown Chicago on Thursday, January 14.  We are thrilled to present our headliner, the fantastic alternative/hip-hop/blues band from Philadelphia, G. Love & Special Sauce.  Also on the bill, we are delighted to have The Baseball Project, a supergroup of rock talent (including R.E.M.'s Peter Buck) that writes and sings songs about, what else, baseball!  Bob and I will reprise our role as honorary rock stars (at least in our minds) for a couple of numbers as well.  As always, the proceeds will benefit Chicago Cubs Charities, so put on your dancing shoes, come on out for a great cause and help us kick off Cubs Convention weekend with a blistering night of rock and roll, brought to you by our good friends at Bud Light.

Tickets are available at houseofblueschicago.comlivenation.com and ticketmaster.com or the House of Blues box office. By telephone (312)
923-2000.  Hope to see you there!

Keeping Busy

Hi Everbody, hope you're enjoying this lovely autumn we're having. Actually, the cold temperature is not a big deal to me, but I wouldn't mind seeing the sun a little bit more. And it's a bit depressing when it gets dark at 4 pm. But I will say this--the Midwestern winters just get me that much more excited for spring training.

I've found ways to stay busy around the house the last couple months while always keeping an eye on the Cubs and MLB news of the day. Here's a link to an interview I did with Cubs fan Drew Brown for his blog. Enjoy...and Happy Thanksgiving!

P.S., Keep checking back for Len & Bob Bash updates. We will be at the House of Blues on Thursday, January 14th with all the proceeds going to Cubs Charities. The Baseball Project is locked in for our bill. Bob and I and our band of rockers will do a couple numbers and we are close to getting our headline act in place. When that happens, we will post all the ticket information ASAP.
