Happy to announce the first installment of a second Thursday monthly dive into the writers & performers that live right under our noses.

You can expect to hear unique stories & songs that some artists don't get to share at normal, loud concerts.

Listening folks are gonna love this.

Our monthly gathering will be at one of the most unique & cozy new record stores in Northern IL, Crooked Arm Vinyl & Tap.

We've got quite a schedule for you this year & we couldn't be more stoked to start this journey with Austin Thompson from The Way Down Wanderers.
