REGO grew up on a small farm in southeastern WI. She was always in
love with the guitar. “Some of my early memories are sitting in my
neighbor’s living room and watching him run over blues licks” she
says. As she got older, her mother, a former concert cellist,
encouraged her to study and play classical guitar and that’s what she
did for most of her adolescence. n 2006 she moved to Chicago and
recorded her first EP. Cutting her teeth in the fertile Chicago open
mic scene, she slowly began to gain a voice and a following. Since
then she has released two other records, the last of which, All These
Bones And Us, sold out the famous Chicago venue Old Town School of
Folk Music. This February, Seconds will be her second full band
release. Seconds marks the fourth studio record for REGO since 2006.
Moving in a new direction, the new record reveals a more mature and
evolving set of songs.
"Algebro is the solo project of local singer/songwriter Thom Cathcart. At first glance you may take note of his handlebar mustache, dopey demeanor and terrible choice of band name. But don’t let all that fool you; Algebro is a witty songwriter - a master of subtle sarcasm and dark humor.
Cathcart originally hails from Gainesville, Georgia, so it’s no surprise his music comes with a hint of southern charm. His debut full-length, The Algebro Album, is an 11-song collection of strangely charismatic folk songs that are sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes cheerful, but never cheesy. Take a listen for yourself over at Algebro’s Bandcamp."
