On their new album Rough Around The Hedges, Chicago band Hood Smoke, create a sound that’s just as dancy as it is cinematic. Soulful vocals resound over pop melodies, jazz-inspired sections, rock progressions and funk bass grooves that hold everything together. The result is a soul-pop fusion that borrows from tradition as much as it stands out on its own. Live From Studio 10 is Vocalo's live performance show and podcast that features emerging bands and music artists from Chicago and beyond. Hosted by Jesse Menendez, produced by Fyodor Sakhnovski, and this episode was engineered by Collin Ashmead-Bobbitt. Subscribe to the podcast here: bitly.com/vocaloLFS10
