We are so fortunate to work with so many talented musicians. This band, Too Bad Company, is a newly formed tribute to Bad Company. Listen to the interview and then treat yourself to an amazing in studio performance of Shooting Star. Their Facebook, Instagram and web design and management is something we are also handling.
We are proud to be helping Our House of Hope raise some funds for the care of their animals. It is also the origin of the name of the band. Please come join us and bring a donation!
From 2017: Carlos Tulloss with Screens kicks off our Movement. Providing musicians the opportunity to expand their communities, viewership and awareness. #OrginalPush is Coffee Cups’ initiative to leverage everyone’s social communities, to share and promote original unsigned music, to create buzz and to empower the starving artist and those who support them. Simply send us a video link to your original unsigned music that we can share in a Live Stream on Cawffee Tawk, we will brand it and tag it with the #OriginalPush logo, push out to our Facebook page as you will to yours, we will add it to our #OriginalPush playlist on YouTube and to our webpage, and add links to your websites and/or YouTube pages. We hope that this will generate a real conversation around live music. That we spark creativity. That we entice listening. That we eventually generate a community strong enough to draw a large audiences to your shows.

America’s All Star Tribute to Steely Dan, Deacon Blues Official, sent three emissaries (Steven Kikoen, Ebonie Taylor & Dave Farley) for a “Cawffee Tawk”. In this interview they explain the history and philosophy behind the musical phenomenon of Chicago that reads like a "who's who" of world-class musicians. Normally performing as a 12-piece band, they treated us to a sample of unplugged Steely Dan classics and what might be encompassed in a wider range of “The Dan's” prolific material like The New York Rock and Soul Revue.
We are so blessed to be able to work with Chicago-lands finest musicians and we wanted to share some of the amazing moments we've captured over the course of this year. This is an hour of amazing music. Please enjoy!
From 2017: Derrick’s been singing since he was a kid. He was in bar bands before he was legal. He did his first recording as the lead singer in a band, Mothers Worry, when he was 16, and ever since then he’s been Mr. Studio Guy. Originally hailing from Milwaukee, he was always a sought after front man. This led him to a lengthy stint with Midwestern faves, Arroyo. His energy and talent together made him irresistible to audiences. Always in great demand, he has logged over a million hours on stage and in the studio, including providing vocals for advertising giants like McDonald’s, Chevy, Budweiser, Coca-Cola and Kellogg’s. Of course, an incredible singer who’s also a smokin’ musician is going to write songs. Some earlier stuff that he wrote for the bands he was in won all kinds of awards. Derrick’s songs have been recorded by The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, Logan Daniels and Melissa Manchester.
