FRET12 SESSIONS

ILLS

A supergroup born of three incredible musicians from the Empty Bottle scene, we were lucky enough to capture this musical equinox at one of our FRET12 Sessions at the Salt Shed.

LIVE AT THE SALT SHED

SPARKLE CARCASS

Sparkle Carcass, self-proclaimed trailblazers of “Chicago Dive-Bar Country” blew through our shop and chopped it up with us about music, songwriting, and what it means to be an alt-country act in Chicago.
