SHE LIKES TODD
She Likes Todd started out as a young group of naive kids playing music in a basement circa 1999. Years went by as SLT honed their skills and developed a style of music they could call their own. Drawing inspiration from groups such as NOFX, Slapstick, Lagwagon, and Propagandhi, SLT evolved from a pop punk trio into a fast-paced, melodic punk group that could not be ignored.

SHERRY AMOUR
She dreamed of the world hearing her voice and being motivated by her instrument. A dynamic live performer with encouraging lyrics and powerful arrangements is the condensed description of Sherry Amour.
The journey began at the age of seven when Sherry was given her first opportunity to sing a solo at her church’s Christmas play. From this spark a flame was ignited, for it was then that she knew that this was a passion worth pursuing.
Sherry was encouraged by her parents to take vocal lessons to broaden her skills and enhance her performance technique. She was challenged to take her talent to new heights; learning to sing, not only R&B, but classical and show tunes from Broadway, which strengthened her voice.
Sherry Amour decided to attend Columbia College of Chicago, to study the business of music. It was during this season of her life she learned the importance of being both business savvy as well as sharpening her gift. The balancing act of both worlds encouraged Sherry Amour to consistently maintain control and discipline with her talent.
Having an entrepreneurial spirit is what drove her to start her own band along with her college friend and musical director, at the time Milton Suggs, in 2004. From this collegiate collaboration, a new determination, a new direction has been created to that will lead younger generations to the rich tradition that is live soul music.
Sherry Amour has had the privilege to perform at prestigious Chicago venues and events over the past several years. Having had the opportunity to perform before millions of people on the morning news show WGN, and at the world renowned UniverSoul Circus, and singing the National Anthem for the All Star-Chicagoland basketball game, Sherry has honed her skills to earn a reputation as a great live performer now with a limitless destiny awaiting her.
“Sherry you are a treat to watch and hear”, were the words of Stellar award winner and Grammy nominee, Mr. Donald Lawrence after attending a recent performance.
Aside from graduating from Columbia College of Chicago, Sherry Amour’s proudest accomplishment, thus far, is the release of her 2006 independent project Seasons. It is from this project that Sherry Amour has reflected upon the truth that All things are Possible when you choose to walk by Faith and not by Sight.
“Continue to build your legacy” is Sherry’s Motto to her peers. And that is what Sherry Amour is continuously doing, having a positive impact on music lovers who respect and love music with a voice, a soul…
Sherry Amour is music made to love.

SHOTGUN GAMBLING
Hitting up bars and coughing up tar, Shotgun Gambling is coming at you like that mortgage you gambled away on the roulette table. Shotgun combines the energy from a dirty punk rock basement with the atmosphere of a high class biker car. With a wide range of punk and rockabilly influences, varying from Cock Sparrer, Stray Cats, Zero Boys, and Dropkick Murphys, what may seem like just a punk rock band is more than it appears to be. Shotgun’s biggest influence is old school rock and roll, with influences like Del Shannon, Frankie Valli, and Creedence Clearwater Revival. When you go to a Shotgun Gambling show, you’ll never know what to expect, but make sure you bring your dancing shoes- and a pack of band-aids.
