Music from Chicago

No verified artist from here has shared music with us yet. That is a gap somebody local can close — not something we will fill with music from somewhere else and call it Chicago.

Pick a song, write a note, and send it to someone as a musical postcard from Chicago. Every TimTim.Live Originals song is free to send.
