Chicago Acts to Look Out For in 2014

Chicago has been on lately. The Second City has always been known as a musical city and the current rate at which it has produced talent as of late is only adding to that legacy. As festival lineups roll out as we transition into Spring, it has become common to find a Chicago act, if not several, on the list. For this reason, we decided to put together a list of up and coming artists from Chicago that we expect to fully blossom throughout 2014. We added numbers, but there's no real order as far as rankings, just a collection of musical acts from the city that deserve a spotlight. Last year, Chance The Rapper, Chief Keef and a host of hip-hop artists dominated music headlines as a pipeline was established in the Midwest. There is plenty in the city that isn't rap music too though, and we made sure to highlight everyone. Take some time to flip through the next batch of stars to rise out of Chicago.
[RH Interview] White Mystery
One of the many awesome moments of Riot Fest this year was when I got the chance to chat with heavy rocker siblings Miss Alex White, and Francis Scott Key White of White Mystery. This rad, in-your-face two-piece out of Chicago headlined the rebel stage on Sunday night. Check out the interview below and read about their love for Chicago, their latest album, Telepathic and the perks to being in a band with your red-headed sibling.
