Ever had a mad fiddler in your lap?
At the Locals' live shows you may just get that! Hold on tight because, orginal rock music is making a comeback in the rambunctious, rootsy tunes of this Mid-western band. The Locals have been rocking the Chicago music scene for the last 5 years. Their deceptivily understated line up of acoustic guitar, electric violin, drums and bass, launches a fury of energetic rock at every show.
Violinist David Goldman is clearly the crowd pleaser with his manic fiddle sawing, so manic in fact that he has to have his bow re-haired after just about every gig!

Super smooth, bass player Christy Nunes lays down a refreshing combination of skilled and melodic bass lines that will be buzzing around in your head long after the show is done. Vocalist/guitar/songwriter, Yvonne Doll's powerhouse vocal stylings will leave you wondering how so much sound comes out of such a small person, and drummer Ross Rutherford? Dont his "shop teacher" appearance fool you, this guy has more chops than a steak house on saturday night.

The Locals sound is a spicy sonic cocktail! The recipe goes something like this: start with some No Doubt and Melissa Etheridge, throw some Dave Matthews in there and swirl it around with a dash of Ani Difranco, served up in a sweaty 20 oz rocket red tumbler. Yum!
No doubt meets melissa etheridge, throw some dave matthews in there and swirl it around with a dash of ani difranco.
