I don’t know how this happened because I have not promoted my music for several years and barely ever touched ReverbNation, but somehow suddenly I am number 40 on the ReverbNation Rock charts for Chicago, IL. https://t.co/yvstolXwNi

This show at the “Hard Rock Chicago” was before I started wearing a gottie, but the shadow on my face makes it look like I have one (either that or a dirty smudged hobo face lol) https://t.co/1i5DiwClB1
