Jared Rabin at Martyrs’ on Feb 10 plus Songwriter’s showcase at SXSW in March February 13, 2017 It's hard to believe that I've been doing music for well over a decade now. I have gone through many phases since I started out as a professional guitar player in Chicago at 20 years old. Looking back, I can hardly believe I'm the same person! It took a long time to figure it out, but I am fortunate to be able to live in this city and do nothing except perform and write music.

The Wieners Circle Has A New Reality TV Show! March 20, 2012 The Wieners Circle has been my fav go to places to enjoy w/ friends (like me & Jude Law above) since I was in 5th grade! Born & raised 3blks away, I remember walking w/my fam or friends once a week to rent VHS tapes next door, and I always got a cheddar cheese fry & chardog to go! Back then they didn't scream obnoxious profanities at customers who love it like they do now, but their food hasn't changed a bit and is still the best! That killer combo of great food & entertainment (or abuse) is probably why they just landed their own reality TV show that premieres tonight on Tru TV at 9 p.m.! Support & watch it!
