Tune into the Rock n Roll Chicago Podcast for a backstage pass to the city's vibrant music scene, hosted by two guys who've lived it. Ray the Roadie and Hollywood Mike bring decades of combined experience-from loading gear to fronting bands like Cadillac Groove-to every conversation. Each week, they sit down with the musicians and bands shaping Chicago's sound, diving into more than just the latest gig or album. You'll hear stories that trace the deep roots of rock in the city, honest assessments of what it's like to make a living in music now, and frank discussions about the hurdles and triumphs artists face. This isn't a formal interview show; it's the feeling of hanging out after a set, where the talk turns to history, hustle, and why this music matters. The podcast captures the specific character of Chicago's community, from legendary venues to the next generation carving their own path. Listen for genuine, often humorous, conversations that only insiders like Ray and Mike can pull off, offering a unique blend of news, legacy, and performance insight that feels like a weekly check-in from the heart of a rock n roll town.
