Chicago Studio Club Live Music

http://www.thepocketproject.info/ is the link to the brand new website of our friends drummer Ron Schur and slide guitarist Chuck Wasserburg!  To quote the site: "Lead vocal/keyboardist/front man Doug James (FunkAmongUs, Lovehouse, The Llama’s). An “old school” Disc Jockey for 25 years, James brings his soul and grit to each performance making each and every song his own.  Bassist/vocalist Billy Corston (Elmore James, Jr) (Sherwin Specter Band) (Jay & The Americans) personifies the flash & pulsating bottom that keeps the energy level up…way up. Drummer Ron Schur (Sluggo & Sheba) IS the heartbeat. The human metronome who injects a strong backbeat with a steady hand.

What makes the band different, is the parts. Slide Guitarist Chuck Wasserburg and lead/rhythm Guitarist Cliff Kuhlman provide break neck guitar riffs that seem effortless. Cliff’s former Sterling/Kyler bandmate & Harmonica impresario & vocalist Dave Rix adds an element to the Project that can best be described as jaw dropping.

The PocketProject covers the Blues, Rock & R&B genres from classic artists such as Eric Clapton, John Mayall, Otis Redding, Jimi Hendrix, The Allman Brothers & Little Feat to the hottest electric artists of today like Joe Bonamassa, Kenny Wayne Shephard, Tommy Castro & Jonny Lang".

These are videos that Chicago Studio Club has of Chuck and Ron:

These age old videos were filmed at a jam where the musicians were all just thrown together, most having never even met the others! They don’t do Ron & Chuck the real justice they deserve, but you CAN see their CHOPS! Both Ron and Chuck DO shine above the others!

We can’t wait to check out their first gig so we can meet the rest of the talented musicians in this group!
