Much of Chicago is built from Chicago Common bricks. If you're in Chicago, you're probably near some now. Chicago Commons are the rougher and dirtier bricks on the sides and back of many of Chicago's buildings. They're made from the clay from the Chicago River and when fired they can turn a range of colors, like buff yellow, salmon pink, or deep red. Chicago bricks age beautifully and take on a beautiful patina.

I’m headed to Chicago to make my Deepcuts debut at Signal in Wicker Park tomorrow, so long-time friend of the show A. D. Walsh graciously offered to cover for me this week. Operating out of Montreal for nearly a decade now, A. D. Walsh is a musician with deep roots in Michigan and intimate familiarity with many artists and music scenes across the Midwest. It’s a delightful mix that feels very much like home, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. Big big love and gratitude to Alex for coming on <3
