Ask Jesus, he knows.
Easily the greatest band to emerge in years and they reign from Chicago. Two vocalist (one on piano, the other on guitar), two rhyme spitters (one part spiritual guide), a bassist, drummer, and a 3 piece brass section; blend upbeat Funk, smooth Soul, intellectual Hip-Hop and grown-man Blues. These guys play far beyond their years with a maturity only men carry, this mixed with the motivation and energy of their actual youth keeps them untouched by any rival and set this group into a class all of there own. If your out by SXSW, this is a must catch act.

It might be time to jump on the O’ My’s bandwagon before that wagon gets full. The funky, rocky yet soulful group took home “next big thing” honors at the Congress Theater while leaving 150 other bands in their wake. They open what should be a night of good, old school rock n roll at Reggies Music Joint on Friday night, headlined by fellow Chicagoans The Sonnets.

These guys are dapper. Their tunes were incredibly infectious, potentially appealing to many different-minded people. There’s no way these guys can be boxed into just one genre. There’s jazzy horns, funky bass, soulful singing… Their live show was so vibrant; the crowd couldn’t help but sway to their swagger. If this band doesn’t continue to grow I would be completely surprised.
