It's such a gas having you guys here, thank you. All of you! Everybody, everybody's here. If you're here, raise your hand. This is gonna be the world's fastest 30 Minute Music Hour interview, because I know everybody wants to get back to the music, but when you hear that voice, Stefanie, I want to talk to Stefanie and Chris here real quick, people compare it to Chaka Kahn and Alicia Keyes, but who were your musical heroes? Just some of those. It goes back to Aretha Franklin, Chaka, Michael Jackson, Adelle. All old-school, new-school. - And how do they speak to you? How did they, when you first heard them? When I was little I just loved to mimic all great artists. And I would sit in front of TVs and mirrors and just mimic as much as I could and hopefully it paid off. How much do you feel like you're still doing that? I get in front of a mirror once an hour. Shampoo bottles are great! No, I still do it. These guys now are my influences. Now I look at these guys and I want to... Does everyone compose? Is it a group effort? Yeah. Everybody helps out a bit. We all help arrange, but I think it's Brendan on the keyboards is our main generator of music and then the rest of us contribute here and there. It's been called "Chicago Soul," Chris. Tell us what that means to you, when someone says, "Chicago Soul." I don't know, I think a Chicago version of anything has roots to it. You can have Chicago rock and Chicago jazz and there's kind of a really Midwestern blues-y kind of flavor. I think the blues finds its way into everything in Chicago. That's the best I got. - You can hear it here. I was thinking of Chicago pizza, in particular, that's a whole different category. A new record is almost done? - It's in the works. So, When? - We're hoping September. Hoping September. You get to hear them on the 30 Minute Music Hour for now. Yes. Thank you for having us. We have time for three, I think. Thanks, Andy.
