Tangleweed is playing a smoke-free show tonight (Friday, February 3) at the Charleston in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood. The Charleston is the first bar in the city to go smoke-free. It’s the kind of cozy neighborhood watering hole that Chicago doesn’t have enough of anymore, and, now that it’s smoke-free, you can have a few drinks and not come home smelling like an ashtray. http://www.charlestonchicago.com

Saturday night we’re making a rare South-Side appearance, only our second ever, when we play a music and movies event at the South Union Arts Center. Doors open at eight, with music following shortly thereafter. Our set will be followed with the first screening of a new indie rock documentary. Details follow.
