The Long Gone Lonesome Boys 10pm

The first thing you notice about the Long Gone Lonesome Boys: tight, cutting vocals, spot-on harmonies and arrangements. The second thing: excellent songwriting. The third thing: It’s eerie how much these ‘brothers from different mothers’ sound alike.

Jimbo-Delta 10pm

People who’ve seen a lot...see something special in Jimbo-Delta. They feel the
Mississippi River bottoms in the music and vocals...genuine, earthy and full of energy. A longtime blues artist in Chicago introduced Jimbo-Delta at Buddy Guy’s Legends Club as...”The Real Deal”. When Sergio Mayora from Weed’s Tavern in Chicago was having some special visitors...Chuck Berry, Dr. John, Bo Diddley...he called Jimbo to entertain.

The Additives 10pm

"Economically recorded in the spare room of an apartment, the five-song EP from the recently completed Chicago alt-country quartet focuses on bouncy beats and foghorn-bass vocals creating characters from simple situations, throwing in the occasional accordion (performed by a classically trained pianist) for good measure. Remarkably kinetic, the songs beg to be listened to all the way through; there is scarcely a wasted measure on the short but satisfying disc. Mastered by Studio Chicago and with professional packaging, the disc comes off as artistically lo-fi. Check out theadditives.com for a listen, as well as a video for the opening track of the album.” -Ryan Cunningham, Recoil Magazine
