Chicago, IL This January, Old Shoe will return to Davenport for their first performance in town since River Roots Live last summer. The band will also be touring in Colorado in January and host the second annual installment of Snow Shoe in February in their hometown of Chicago.

The indoor festival-themed event will be held in The Volcano Room at The Bottom Lounge on Saturday, February 15th and will feature a potent line-up of local and regional musical talent, along with live artists and local vendors.
