So nice they’re doing it twice. Chicago’s Smoking Popes have announced the second coming of their Midwest Simmerfest mini-tour. The 2023 iteration tacks on another night, for four total. Joining the Popes for each night are Teenage Halloween and Devon Kay & The Solutions. The legendary Sludgeworth will also be on hand for the Chicago and Milwaukee gigs. It all starts at the end of November.
