            <description><![CDATA[The Red Apples Trio is out and about this Spring-cold as hell though it is!- trying to keep warm. For the moment we are content playing acoustically -with a few electric licks thrown in from time to time. And it presents new and interesting challenges. Wendy is digging it for the ease of singing...and new songs are in the works. Do come and join us for an interesting mix or roots originals and covers, swing, rockabilly, a little country thrown in there-something for everybody!]]></description>

            <title>so much to do...so little time</title>
            <link>http://theredapples.com/news.html#26</link>
            <description><![CDATA[The Red Apples have been mighty busy with writing some new tunes, breaking in a new bass player and generally keeping busy. So the gigs have been a bit in the background. But not for long. Into the recording studio we go (pretty soon) and then let 'em rip we will! Anyway fall is apple picking time as we all know, and there is more than one way to harvest APPLES! Meanwhile, the Red Apples loved playing the V-Spann Veterans Run benefit at Montefiori, and Ron and Wendy were interviewed for the documentary they are making about the event as well as the hoped for television station for Vets only. Aren't we special? <br />Stay tuned for upcoming gigs and more....<br />Also while you're at check out Wendy's blog at <a href="http://wendysvoice.blogspot.com">http://wendysvoice.blogspot.com</a>]]></description>

            <title>Is it Spring yet?</title>
            <link>http://theredapples.com/news.html#25</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Thanks to everybody who came out to see us at Galvin's, Lilly's and The Tonic Room. We'll be hitting some of those spots again in the very near future so please check back in. We've been having loads of fun playing with Beau Barry, our awesome new sax man who also brought Myron Katz on board for some super sweet drumming (yeah he can rock, and even play with brushes!!). Working up some new material with some surprises from Dave in the form of new original songs. <br />Don't forget to check out Wendy's voice teaching website for all of you wannabe singers at <a href="http://www.vocalperformanceworkshop.com">www.vocalperformanceworkshop.com</a> and PLEASE fan us on facebook!<br />Bring on the SPRING!!!!!!!!!!]]></description>

            <link>http://theredapples.com/news.html#24</link>
            <description><![CDATA[The Red Apples had a heap of fun at Gallery Cabaret this past Saturday and are looking forward to some crazy show with them in the VERY NEAR FUTURE,  probably Oct 16, with another soon to be announced band. Yes it was mighty sweet playing with Bob Sass (that rhymes with boss not ass) and Chris Hopper filling in on guitar. Ron was smoking (I mean ya know on the guitar) and Don was bringing on the bass as usual. What can I say? I was my usual sweet self. Ran into some folks who remembered our version of Lucinda Williams' "Essence" at the Mayfest a few years back and danced up a storm. That was nice.<br />Come out to see us next Monday night. We're the featured band at Underground Wonderbar on their open mike night! David Lenef on guitar and Bob Sass again! Whoo hoo! Hope to see ya there!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Wow, we've been terrible, we realize suddenly, about keeping up to date on this here site. We shall try to do better henceforth. Heck. Let's face it, there's just too much to do. But we must put forth that we just had a great recording session this weekend with Don King on bass and Dave Lenef on guitar. We're putting together a nice little acoustic package with some new originals and some covers...more on that too come! Please check out our fall calendar dates and come out and show your love!]]></description>

            <title>A Red Apples Spring</title>
            <link>http://theredapples.com/news.html#22</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Let us welcome in the Spring and also the greatest bass player around. We are too too pleased to have Chris Hopper joining us on bass. Chris is relatively new to the Chicago area and we feel pretty lucky that we snapped him up quickly. He is an accomplished musician who totally syncs up with the rest of the Apples. Chris is also going to be gigging with us as a second guitar player on the acoustic gigs that Ron and Wendy do-and guess what? His guitar playing is even more amazing! We're trying to come up with a name for this side project which promises to keep growing...got any ideas?]]></description>

            <title>APPLE GATHERING</title>
            <link>http://theredapples.com/news.html#21</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Oh my it's that time again. It must be the fall. The Red Apples are doing some apple pickin' that is regrouping, yes once again. As noted previously we have lost some dear band members due to illness and personal problems, but we are already working hard with new members that promise to be super Apple editions. In the meanwhile, you can check out Ron and Wendy's various acoustic gigs around and about. Thank you for all your support and fun times at The Horseshoe last Saturday. Leave us a comment and tell us how you feel. Love, Wendy, Ron/The Red Apples]]></description>

            <title>DON&amp;amp;#8217;T MISS THE HORSESHOE!</title>
            <link>http://theredapples.com/news.html#20</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Hey there! You all do not want to miss the Horseshoe this coming Friday night, no way no how. We are losing some of our favorite Apples and this may be the last time you see us onstage with Tim, our beloved bassist, who has to leave the band for personal reasons.  Rich, our beloved drummer, has bowed out due to health issues and will be unable to play Friday. We love them both to bits and wish both every good thing that can be wished. And then some. Filling in for Rich will be our most excellent former drummer and all around awesome guy, Gerry Jalove. Kudos to Gerry for being such a standup guy. Jim Hintz will be providing some nice new licks and of course Wendy and Ron just keep keeping it together with the love...IT PROMISES TO BE A PARTY!]]></description>

            <title>Red Line Tap Cancelled</title>
            <link>http://theredapples.com/news.html#19</link>
            <description><![CDATA[We are very sad to announce the cancellation of The Red Line Tap gig due to a death in the immediate family of one of the band members. We are sorry both to The Red Line and our loyal fans who planned to attend. Unfortunately, it is too late to find a replacement and we hope there are no hard feelings. It is beyond our control, obviously. Our prayers go out to the family members.]]></description>

            <title>NEW GUITAR MAN!</title>
            <link>http://theredapples.com/news.html#18</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Howdy to all...The Red Apples are very happy to announce an excellent new guitar player to our line up that we feel will add not only musical savvy but stability to our Appledom. His name is Jim Hintz, and he is an old friend and musical partner of both Ron's and Rich's from back in the day, as they say. Jim played with R & R in the fabulous roots band of the 80's known as The Wascally Wabbits, and will add his lead, rhythm  and vocal chops to The Red Apples starting ASAP! Hooray!<br /><br />I am perhaps remiss in not blogging about our California gig cause I'm waiting for PIX!!! It's a long story involving a teenager and a camera, but I promise it is forthcoming! In the meantime head out for your Apple fix this Friday night at The Red Line Tap!]]></description>
