We are also happy to be in such good company, especially with our Chicago Roots Collective brethren Band Called Catch.

SO now we need your vote! It takes anywhere from 1.5 – 2.3 seconds to do, and we really appreciate it. If we come out on top, our gorgeous faces and logo will be the big banner at the top of their site, and we would win some recording time to lay down our new songs like “Uptown” and “Like You Like Me.” note: you can only vote once per IP address. It is currently VERY close so we really need your help!

thanks so much y’all!
