Lexie Bloor
After 7 years (a divine number!) of living in Chicago, Lexie is relieved to announce that she's finally making her living exclusively from the music industry (that means no more bartending). En route to this happy situation she has been a jazz studies student at DePaul University, a Citrus band member, and has even dabbled in acting. But her soul food is songwriting. Lexie and her band are planning a long-overdue recording this year, but in the meantime they can be heard live at The Elbo Room & Martyrs (among others...). Impassioned thanks to all ears and friends who listen and support original music.

Bob Stroud
Bob's childhood hobby, became his profession....music! Bit by the vinyl bug in the late 50's, he finally made his debut as a disc jockey in Sarasota, Florida in 1977. Since 1979, Bob has been entertaining Chicago rock audiences with his vast knowledge of rock 'n roll history. His celebrated Rock 'n Roll Roots Radio program has aired for the past 21 years on such stations as WMET, The Loop, AM 1000, CD 94.7, and WXRT. For 10 years, Bob fronted Rockestra, an 11 piece rock and soul band to audiences all over Chicagoland and the midwest. In his spare time, he daydreams about what he would be doing if he had any spare time.
