REGO
By user • Feb 1st, 2009 • Category: Band BiosChicago is cold in February. January technically might be more frigid, but not by much. It’s the time each year that the Windy City’s sticky summer feels a world away, and those refreshing breezes off Lake Michigan are memories lost in the salty snow sludge and bleak skies that seem to hang for months longer with the passing of each calendar. So any semblance of warmth during these forlorn days hits a bit harder and feels just a bit more inviting. That’s what makes the lonesome winter the perfect setting for a hometown REGO gig. Rebecca Rego’s sultry, jazzy vocals strike just the right temperature over the mellow acoustic notes that she and her bandmates strum their way through. Combining a hint of upbeat optimism with the road-weary hesitation of any good lounge act, REGO sets a soundtrack of feel-good skepticism that makes these bitter days just a bit more tolerable.
