About the band

A band that knows how to work a room.

Heartland Mile is a four-piece band of experienced Chicago musicians playing roots rock, Americana and familiar crowd favorites with a lived-in bar-band soul.

The set pulls from roots rock, Americana, heartland rock and familiar crowd favorites. The band keeps it loose, musical and human: ringing guitars, a solid rhythm section, big choruses and enough grit to make the songs feel like they belong in the room.

Collectively, members of Heartland Mile have played respected Chicagoland stages including Hey Nonny, Bub City, Joe’s Live and The Acorn Theater.
