Hello MIDWEST,
It's been some time since we've had an update of this size, and we
are so excited! Things have been crazy busy for us over the last few
weeks, and we will continue to be busy for the rest of the year, but we
have lots of big plans for the winter and hope you'll be excited when
you see what we have in store.
We want to mention some of our good friends that are on tour right now.
Steez from Madison, WI, and
The HUE from Chicago, IL, both have new albums out this month that they will be on the road supporting, and our new friends
Lubriphonic
from Chicago, IL are playing in the MIDWEST and beyond. We hope you'll
catch these bands, and the great number of other talented bands in the
MIDWEST, when they make a stop in your town. (Sidenote - Anyone ever
notice how many great bands have come from Chicago? Must be something
in the water!)
Thinking about going to
Caribbean Holidaze with
Umphrey's McGee and
Disco Biscuits
