I just saw Shepik last night (Tuesday) in Boston in a group with Dominique Eade (vocals), John Lockwood (bass), and Billy Hart (drums).

These guys sounded pretty good when they played in Chicago at the Hungry Brain on 10/18. My only complaint is that Versace should have played more accordian. He played mostly piano. The piano at the brain sucks.
