2008 Jammy New Groove winners Cornmeal will stage their annual hometown Acoustic Christmas Show at Chicagos Martyrs. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Childrens Memorial Hospital and everyone who brings a canned food donation will receive $2 off at the door. The group will then plug in for an electric performance at the same venue the following night.

Next up, Cornmeal will open for Hot Buttered Rum at Indianapolis The Music Mill this coming Tuesday. Looking ahead, the group will also host a weekly residency at Martyrs early next year.
