The Sometimes Family (Fun With Heartbreak EP Release)
What sets the Sometimes Family apart from other groups in this new soul era is their aim to bring back the vocally-driven tune, the collaborative, harmonic group sound. Drawing inspiration from a variety of soul sources, including the Fifth Dimension, the Staples Singers, the Jackson 5 and the Friends of Distinction, their songs are written with the whole family in mind.
The Sometimes Family fuses a bluesy, soulful language with vocally driven melodies. Bass and drum grooves, rhythmic organ, and sweet flute lines seal the deal to an incredible listening experience. This Chicago soul band tickles your limbs and sets them in motion.

Lindsay Weinberg (CD Release)
"The bright spark of Lindsay Weinberg's childlike enthusiasm is
balanced by the knowing glint in her eye. Her voice is big, her songs honest, her piano playing punchy. On her debut album, Skyscraper Queen of the Midwest, complicated progressions and cheeky lyrics blend into effortless hooks that stick with you long after the show. Lindsay's catchy sound is bolstered by a dozen fellow musicians from Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music, bringing a harmonic energy as strong as
the wind whipping off Lake Michigan, focused down city streets, and channeled directly into your heartbeat."
