Growing Boys, a Chicago-based folk alt band, blend grassroots melodies with lyrics steeped in nostalgia, longing, and charisma. As their narratives unfold and intertwine, we all find ourselves sinking into the realities of life—an existence so tumultuous, so confusing, and so humorously beautiful, it begs to be expressed through longing, heartbreak, and the occasional wink of humor. (Knotted Lace, Colette Postaer)
