Record collector since the late 80's. Windy City Soul Club Co-Founder. Both intrigued and influenced by the 1970's UK Northern Soul scene during the early 1990's. Starting out with Kent UK and Goldmine/Soul Supply compilations LP's track list that eventually turned into my want lists, So off to the records stores I went searching for the original 45's . After seeing that other sounds of soul were well covered in Chicago like "Sheer Magic's" Funk Night at Danny's, Or the Southern Soul & Gritty R&B sounds of "East of Edens Soul Express" at The Hideout. A few collector friends and I decided to start a monthly event focusing on Northern Soul in 2008 to offer our city some fresh underground soul sounds from the early 60's thru the early 80's.
