Dennis Carroll and The LoveBio:My dream as a child growing up in Poplar Grove, Illinois, was to play with the great musicians I heard from my Dad’s record collection.My dream now is to play my music and I present to you: The Love.When my heart first opened up to music, I was a child growing up in a farm town in the 70’s. The music I write is a mosaic of jazz, rock, folk, and blues. It’s a way back to the feeling I had as a child when I first heard music in nature. It’s the story of finding that child again.My dream to play my music wouldn’t be possible without my band.I’m very grateful for Lee Rothenberg, Joey Skoch and Ben Esposito because not only do I have Chicago’s best musicians playing my music; they are my best friends, too.Together, we are The Love. It’s music. It’s love. DC and The Love.Testimonials:"I listened to every single act at the Chicago Jazz Fest this year, and your set was the highlight!” - Andy Crawford, Director, Rootabaga Jazz Festival

Though many artists are defined by place, only a handful of artists come to define the places they’re from. The Local Honeys are Kentucky and Kentucky runs through their veins like an unbridled racehorse. When a master songsmith like Tom T Hall calls an artist “a great credit to a wonderful Kentucky tradition” it’s time to pull up a chair and pay attention. As it pertains to The Local Honeys he was right on the money. For almost a decade the duo (Montana Hobbs and Linda Jean Stokley) have been an integral part of the Kentucky musicscape. They’ve paid their dues, garnering countless accolades and accomplishments (tours with Tyler Childers, Colter Wall, praise from the New York Times) and have become the defining sound of real deal, honest-to-god Kentucky music.
