While i was a guest on WGN 720Am Radio this weekend (click here for podcast), I was excited to hear all the interest in the way this blog has been highlighting new Chicago talent offering them a shot at much needed exposure… and just wanted to thank all of you who have made all the suggestions to me via twitter, facebook, in person,… its all about you and them… and I thank you for letting me be a part of it!

In that spirit, I thought I would share something that really caught my attention today that someone just sent me on twitter about a local performer whose latest song and video will for sure stick in your head (watch above)!  His name is Kidd Russell, a former college football player turned indie music favorite. While in school, Kidd took a radio production class and started to realize and appreciate the music business. After his first five years in the music business he teamed up with producer Matt Jenkins in 2008 and started Junkyard Productions. Since then, Kidd has had songs featured on MTV Jams, MTV2, Foxsports, CW,…

He describes his music as sounding like “the Midwest, fall leaves, flannels, hoodies, love, football, Friday night lights, snowy mornings, wine on a summer night, friends and hard times song over original reggae, rock, hip hop and the occasional rockabilly beats.”  Check out his blog  – www.kiddrussellmusic.com – where he shares his thoughts, new music, fun random videos and his latest hit “E North Ave” featuring Ross Golan of Glacier Hiking.
