Weclome back to Sound Citizen Radio! It’s March Madness time, which means the NCAA tournament and the biggest gambling event of the year. What’s not a gamble, are the three bands featured in this week’s podcast (at the bottom of this post). We have a Detroit band playing their own style of rock, and two rising Chicago bands with a couple of weekend shows.
So, get out there and support these bands. Your bracket will be blown up by day two anyway.
If you want to get your band featured on Sound Citizen Radio, please send an email to soundcitizenmike@gmail.com. Also, feel free to send suggestions, comments, tips, or anything else.
Have a great weekend.
