I 57th South is a band that doesn't fit into a single category.  They can shift gears from Cash/Waylon to Buddy Holly/Carl Perkins to Skynyrd/Allman Brothers to Beatles/Springsteen.  From the largest city to the smallest town - just like I 57 they travel as far as possible with an Illinois perspective on music.

I 57 South has just released its first CD of 10 original songs titled ILLINOIS OPRY on Lane Records with a second album forthcoming.
