Sidewalk Chalk brings their hip hop sound to Louisville for the recording of a live album

Sidewalk Chalk - Haymarket Whiskey Bar

Sidewalk Chalk is an up and coming band from Chicago that blends hip hop, soul, jazz, and funk into a sound all their own. Their sound has coalesced into an original stew that was on full display when they hit Haymarket Whiskey Bar in Louisville recently.

The band was on the road on an 8 date tour, recording every show to put together an upcoming live album. I have no doubt that at least a few of the performances in Louisville will make the cut for the live album. I captured a few videos of the vibe, which you can view below. Don’t miss them the next time they come through your area.
