   About Chicago Roots Collective
A collaboration of musicians working together to get their music heard.

The Shams Band: "...their southern drawl-by-way-of-the-Midwest comes through to create a blend of classic rock and Americana that appeals to music fans of all ages. “Working Man,” armed with the classic call-and-response chorus and ooh-la-las. It would be hard to disappoint with that combination, and The Shams Band absolutely pull through. The Shams Band offer: drunken anthems, revival music, and reflection." - Justin Gerber [Consequence of Sound]

Todd Kessler: "If you are looking for some new and different tunes, you should definitely give Chicago based singer/songwriter Todd Kessler a listen! His mix of pop-country-melodramatic melodies and melancholy, yet catchy lyrics gives faith to those that are lost in love or going through heartache." - www.musicbleep.com [Los Angeles, CA]

Molehill: "....a mix of bluesy rock with irreverent lyrics, earnest ballads, and quirky, left-field pop." -Illinois Entertainer

The Future Laureates: "You guys sound like The Mars Volta...but happy." -Random gentleman/newfound fan in the audience after one of our shows.

Mike Mangione: "Uplifting" - UR-Chicago, "Luminous" - Blurt Magazine, "Sublime" - All Music

Cobalt & the Hired Guns: "Americana with a punk twist that had the audience moving to the beat - this unusual sound was energetic and fun." -Fearless Radio live Blog, "They remind me of a band that would be playing at a party in a movie that is more fun than a party that would happen in real life" -Mike Raspatello of Kingtello Productions

Goodbyehome "Breathless, excitingly embryonic on stage, with a rare Folky wistfulness that makes your heart soar and drop simultaneously. Goodbyehome make the music that would accompany sad, fond memories of a road trip where, after driving for hours in the wilderness, you met a beautiful girl at a bar in the middle of nowhere, and spent your whole night with her, knowing you'd never see her again." -ANewBandADay.com

Band Called Catch: "Band Called Catch...Undeniably strong pop songwriting and genuinely witty lyrics" -Jim DeRogatis, Chicago Sun-Times
