Chicago Nola is a 4-piece Essex-based band performing classic blues, soul, and R&B, tracing the genre's migration from New Orleans to Chicago with an honest, song-driven approach. The lineup features vocalist Michelle Eley alongside Bill Jenks (guitar), Dietmar Schantin (bass), and Sean McGran (drums). Following their chart-topping "Game of Love" EP (which hit No. 20 on the IBBA Top 40) and a live session on Maritime Radio's Soul City, the band focuses on dynamic performances and engaging live shows.
