Kasim last played at SPACE on Wednesday 12th March when he played his first solo gig there! However in recent years Kasim has played at SPACE a few times as part of Todd Rundgren's band. The most recent time was on 28th August 2013 and 29th August 2013. Prior to that it was in May 2012.

SPACE stands for Society for the Preservation of Art & Culture in Evanston. The website venue describe SPACE as "SPACE was created by musicians for musicians. Our venue was designed to offer superior comfort, elegant aesthetics, and sophisticated audio and lighting technology, all in service of great creative expression. The sound is fantastic, the sight lines are perfect, and no seat is more than 40 feet from the stage."

This venue only holds about 250 people so consequently it is sold out.

The address of the venue is SPACE, 1245 Chicago Avenue, Evanston, Illinois 60202 which is about 30 minutes north of Chicago (if there is no traffic).

Doors open tonight at 6.30pm and the gigs starts at 7.30pm. The website does not state whether there is an opening act or not.

On Saturday evening they played a gig in Northfield, OH. Venue to venue is 372 miles or about 6 hours to drive (if there is light traffic).
The total tour mileage so far (estimate) is 1,773 miles.

The address of the venue is 10777 Northfield Road, Northfield, OH, 44067. Click here for the venue website.

The concert starts at 8pm and it is sold out. The venue website states 'Due to increased security measure, we suggest arriving 1 hour prior to performance' but that may be so that you have longer to gamble or buy drinks! Also according to the website 'Cameras and recording devices are not permitted at Hard Rock Live concerts.' For obvious reasons, this is a 21+ only gig.

Last night they played a gig in Niagara Falls, NY. Venue to venue is 215 miles or about 3.5 hours to drive (if there is light traffic).
The total tour mileage so far (estimate) is 1,401 miles.

This will be Kasim's first solo gig at this venue. However he has played his own gigs in Chicago several times over the past 13 years (since he re-started his solo career).

Kasim has mainly played at The Abbey Pub previously. His last solo performance there was on 8th December 2010. Prior to that he played there on Saturday 15th May 2010, Friday 16th October 2009, Thursday 12th March 2009, Friday 21st March 2008, Saturday 27th January 2007, Saturday 16th February 2002 and Friday 10th August 2001. Kasim usually gets his largest crowds in this city - last time there was a long queue outside!

Kasim's last solo gig in Chicago was on 20th October 2012 at Martyr's.

In recent years Kasim has played at SPACE a few times as part of Todd Rundgren's band. The most recent time was on 28th August 2013 and 29th August 2013. Prior to that it was in May 2012.

SPACE stands for Society for the Preservation of Art & Culture in Evanston. The website venue describe SPACE as "SPACE was created by musicians for musicians. Our venue was designed to offer superior comfort, elegant aesthetics, and sophisticated audio and lighting technology, all in service of great creative expression. The sound is fantastic, the sight lines are perfect, and no seat is more than 40 feet from the stage."

This venue only holds about 250 people so consequently there areonly a few General Admission tickets remaining (there is limited seating in those areas). Tickets (from this link) are $18 in advance (recommended). All the $27 seats at the tables on the floor sold out several weeks ago!

The address of the venue is SPACE, 1245 Chicago Avenue, Evanston, Illinois 60202 which is about 30 minutes north of Chicago (if there is no traffic).

Doors open tonight at 6.30pm and the gigs starts at 7.30pm. The website does not state whether there is an opening act or not.

Kasim will next play at this venue on 31st March and 1st April, again with Todd.

This will be Kasim's 10th solo gig at this venue. The last time that Kasim played here was on Sunday 23rd May 2010 and prior to that on Sunday 15th March 2009, 22nd March 2008 (when he played inside the larger Ballroom).

Tonight he is playing in the more itimate Tavern (which has always been packed when he's played here before so arrive early!). The address of the venue is 15711 Waterloo Road, Cleveland, Ohio, 44110-1659 and the telephone number is 216 383 1124.

Kasim has also played his own gigs in Cleveland at other venues. For example on Saturday 22nd October 2011 he played at The Winchester Music Hall, on Saturday 17th October 2009 he played with The Kasim Sulton Band in the city center at a venue called Wilberts and prior to that he was invited to play a solo set at The Rock'n'Roll Hall Of Fame in the city on Saturday 26th September 2009 so in fact this will be Kasim's 14th solo gig in Cleveland!

Doors open tonight at 7pm with the show starting at 8.pm. Tickets (from this link) are $18 in advance (recommended) or $20 on the door.

The venue does not list any oening act for tonight.

The address of the venue is 680 Wendover Blvd., Wendover, NV 89883. Doors open at 8pm and the gig starts at 9pm although it is unclear from the website which band will play first.

"I still plan to debut songs from 3 in Cleveland and Chicago. I'm excited about that."

Kasim has also said that there will be some 'extra surprises' at his solo gigs too!

Kasim is playing The Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland, OH on Sunday (9th) and SPACE in Evanston (Chicago), IL on Wednesday 12th.

Tickets are still available for both gigs.

This theater originaly opened as a silent movie theater in December 1928. However it closed in a bad state of repair in 1978 and remained closed until in 1992 the new owners started an 8 year, $8.5m renovation and restoration project. The theater is now an amazing mixture of decoration that reflects its great history but also has an opulent feel to it.

The concert tonight starts at 8pm and tickets vary in price from $65 to $45 (plus charges). Click here to purchase tickets. A few days ago the best seats available were in the 19th row.

This will be Kasim Sulton's second appearance at this venue as he last played here on Wednesday 7th April 2010 on the Todd Rundgren's Robert Johnson Music Tour.
