"So you go your way, Wild One. I'll try and follow." (Thin Lizzy-1975)

Joliet area singer, songwriter Colleen Wild was first introduced last August, 2024 when she and her hard rock band The Haunted played a Sunset Stroll outdoor show on a hot, humid night at Kankakee Farmer's Market. Colleen was named Best Newcomer on Local Loft 2024 Year In Review. She is also a prominent solo performer, and is in two duos, Echo and Ransom, & Wild and Rodey. Plus, she was a big part of the musical arrangements for a modern recreation of 30s and 40s old time radio mysteries, The Spectral Silhouette Radio Show. I catch up her as she lays her multirange vocal style during a solo acoustic show at Black Dog Vinyl Cafe in Plainfield, including new upcoming solo material for an acoustic EP in September.
Steve Fest is an first of a kind local punk showcase with familiar Punk Rock Tacos acts, Steve's In The Band, and unfamiliar, The Clash inspired Throwaway Heroes. I've got a sneak peak at the debut edition, this Saturday at Two Hound Brewing Company in Glen Ellyn. A punk peculiarity, for Won't Stay Dead, there just might be, opening for punk legends, The Queers at Reggie's Rock Club Saturday night.
Jason Delismon branched out from being longtime second drummer of A.D.D. to become singer, founder and guitarist of the progressive hard rock band, Frontline. They rocked front and center stage at Chi Town Harley Davidson in Tinley Park for their first show, eight years ago this week.
