My Kind of Town, (Chicago is).

Soon I won’t be able to say the words, “I’ve never been to Chicago.” Yeah, we’re on the road to Da Chi, aka Chi-Town, The 312, The Chill, The Big Onion. (Okay, I did the Wikipedia cheat.) Kristen, our CMJ connection, sent her Chicago connection my demo – How sweet is that?!! I’m not sure what’s going to come of it, but we’re “going where the music takes us,” (our new motto). And it would be stating the obvious to say Chicago is a city where music happens.
Easy examples are recent artists like, The Sea and Cake and Sufjan Stevens, (“Come on, feel the Illinoise”) plus more established artists like Liz Phair and historic greats like Koko Taylor and that whole string of incredible Blues singers. I’m going to give myself a History of the Blues homework assignment while in town.
Seana and I are are planning to hit up the locals to find the best underground clubs and the hottest up-and-comers. (Stay tuned, stay tuned.) Reuben from Quintus (check out our video on them) hooked us up a band called NYCO. Can’t wait to meet them. I’m prepared to be spontaneous…ready for whatever magic may happen in The Second City, Paris on the Prarie, That Toddling Town…

See you in Chicago!
