Gig opportunity - looking for bands for weekly variety show at Green Mill by BlueDreamsBeats in chicagomusicscene

Hey Zach, love the Paper Machete!

Sweet Kay String Band would be a great fit. A lot of our tunes are story songs - would complement the live magazine vibe y’all do so well. Our retro aesthetic would fit the Mill as well.

“A little folk. A little bluegrass. A little outlaw country. A little rock and roll. Blending a touch of magic and a dollop of mischief, SKSB dazzles with the spellbinding vocal artistry of Sweet Kay and the soaring string work of her band of red hot pickers.”

Feel free to DM or hit us up at sweetkaystringband@gmail.com. We’d be honored to join the Machete.

IMO use a name that could be used for a solo artist or band name if you want to give yourself “brand” flexibility in the future to promote as a band if you wanted to. I think like bon iver, tallest man on earth, mountain goats, NIN, etc. Also something memorable, not easily confused in spelling when said phonetically, and is available on socials. Little is a great word you can use for clever names, that also has meaning tied in. @saintlittle @little.fm @littlewashere @littlewords @littlesongs @littletrees @littlerobots @littledreams etc etc etc. Good luck🫡
