  Michael Dorf was born and raised in Milwaukee, WI. After studying Psychology and Business at Washington University, he founded New York City's go-to venue for independent music, the Knitting Factory, in 1986. As Knitting Factory Chairman and CEO, Dorf helped bring the concert house to global prominence by expanding into Europe and Asia via tours, branded festivals, and record production and sales. Dorf was recognized as a pioneer in producing music on the Internet, through a variety of strategic relationships with Apple Computer, Intel, MCI, and Bell Atlantic. During his Knitting Factory tenure, he produced over 200 recordings, a television series, and built a new venue in Los Angeles. In 2002, he left his operating responsibilities and sold his equity position to pursue other endeavors, including a Carnegie Hall concert fundraiser series, founding a Hebrew school, and winemaking. By 2008, Dorf had conceptualized a venue that brought his love for both the making and enjoyment of wine under one roof and created City Winery –Manhattan's first fully-functional winery, restaurant, music venue and private event space. City Winery offers a wide selection of wines, exquisite cuisine and intimate performances from iconic performers. Dorf expanded his company in 2012 with the opening of City Winery Chicago. Subsequent years have brought new venues to Nashville, Atlanta, Boston, and Washington DC, with Hudson Valley and Philadelphia.

This week, from the mean streets of New York City to the humble studios of Windy City Irish Radio​, Mike and Tim get all literary welcoming best-selling author T.J. English​ onto the show to discuss his new book, Where the Bodies Were Buried: Whitey Bulger​ and the World that Made Him. In advance of his book signing at the Irish American Heritage Center​ and his opening stint for The Westies​ at City Winery Chicago​ this Friday night, English regales the lads with stories of the Irish mob spanning over 150 years of crime and cronyism. And in keeping with the outlaws theme, Mike and Tim spin a few prison/outlaw favs by the Blaggards​, Runa​, Chris Thile​, Chris Eldridge​, Marcus Mumford​, Tommy Makem​, Black 47 and Johnny Cash​. Join Mike Shevlin and Tim Taylor this and every Wednesday evening on WSBC 1240AM Chicago from 8pm to 9pm or listen to the podcast at www.windycityirishradio.com
