    BiCHICAGO, IL – Psychedelic soul outfit Vinto Van Go is bringing the summer heat with
    their new single “Hot Pants Boots,” a vibrant, groove-heavy track that sets the stage for
    their upcoming album In the Neon Wilderness, out July 4.
    “It became a party right there in the studio,” says the band’s frontman and lyricist.
    “Everybody chirping in little bits... the whole construction of the song was so fun.” Built
    collaboratively, the track captures the band’s spontaneous, celebratory energy and
    reflects their deep roots in Chicago’s psych-rock and soul scene.
    Described as “the best band at your local bar” and “the ultimate party band,” Vinto Van
    Go has carved out a distinct space in the city’s live music community. Their sound
    draws from the gospel-soaked soul traditions of Chicago’s past while pushing forward
    with layers of distortion, reverb, and psychedelic texture. “I love psychedelic music
    because it pulls the audience into the music. You’re not an observer anymore. You’re
    inside it.”
    “Hot Pants Boots” has already become a live staple. “When we play it live, people
    immediately start dancing and cheering. Some of them are even dressing up for it,” the
    band shares. “We played a private Pride party last weekend, and the crowd showed up
    in hot pants and boots, knowing we were going to play that song. That’s the dream.”
    Vinto Van Go formed during the pandemic, when longtime collaborators and friends
    used the pause in touring to experiment together in the studio. Each member brings a
    unique voice to the group. Ann brings theatricality and character to every vocal
    performance. Jon, a bassist from Manhattan who studied under jazz legend Ron Carter,
    guides the groove with precision. Jason anchors the outfit with sharp, intuitive
    drumming. Kevin, the band’s keyboardist and recording engineer, blends his Afrobeat
    experience into every arrangement. “We all know what to do and when to leave space
    for each other,” the frontman says. “You can hear that clearly in ‘Hot Pants Boots.’”
    In the Neon Wilderness is the band’s second album, written and recorded entirely in the
    past year. Their debut album dropped in April 2024 and helped solidify their status as
    one of Chicago’s most exciting live acts. With local indie radio and fans alike rallying
    behind them, the group has developed a loyal following that’s spreading beyond the city.
    “We’ve got a scene here. If you go to a Vinto Van Go show, you’re going to run into at
    least 50 people you love seeing. That kind of community is rare.”
    As they gear up for their album release and upcoming gigs, including a show in New
    York later this month, Vinto Van Go is keeping it simple.

  • Creator to Creators S7 Ep 47 RARA
    2025/07/16


    Bio
    CAIRO, EGYPT – Rising Egyptian artist RARA has released her electrifying new single,
    King of the Glory Game," a cinematic and soul-stirring track that channels cultural
    pride, global connection, and emotional strength. With her signature haunting yet
    magnetic vocals, RARA continues to carve out a bold and authentic space in the global
    pop landscape this time with a sound that feels as grand as it is heartfelt.
    The track, layered with vibrant beats, soaring choral elements, and emotionally charged
    crescendos, showcases RARA’s ability to transform deeply personal storytelling into
    collective resonance. “‘King of the Glory Game’ is the first song that truly felt like it was
    for people,” RARA shares. “I could sense that this song had the potential to resonate in
    the hearts of so many. I wanted to show the world my own authenticity, while still
    staying deeply connected to Egypt.”
    At its core, the song is an anthem of unity. “I wanted to remind people that we are united
    — no matter how different our cultures, religions, or beliefs might be,” RARA explains.
    “The message was about strength through unity… and I wanted people to feel joy inside
    themselves when they listen to it. That kind of joy that feels like light coming from
    within.”
    The single also stands as a direct tribute to Egyptian football legend Mohamed Salah,
    whose name is proudly mentioned in the song. RARA noted that part of her intention
    was to honor someone “very important to the Egyptian people.” The track celebrates the
    pride, determination, and collective spirit Salah represents—both in Egypt and around
    the world.
    The song’s emotional power is amplified by its rich vocal arrangements. “Recording the
    choir was magical,” RARA recalls. “So many voices came together in this one song — it
    felt overwhelming in the best way, like I was being lifted by this huge wave of unity.
    Everyone gave their absolute all — and you can feel it.”
    Known for her cinematic approach to sound, RARA builds emotional landscapes with
    each track she releases. But as she puts it, she doesn’t aim for spectacle alone. “I want
    my music to feel like a big moment — not for the ‘wow effect,’ but so that someone can
    feel something deep inside. Like they’ve been understood without needing to say a
    word.”
    Shot on location in Cairo, the music video for “King of the Glory Game” is an intimate,
    unfiltered homage to her home. “Cairo is my home. The faces, the smells, the
    movements — it was all mine, all familiar. That wasn’t just a music video, it was me,”
    she says. “I felt thankful. Thankful that I get to be myself, and share that.”
    While fans await her forthcoming EP or album, RARA is focused on crafting something
    deeply personal. “I’m not rushing it. I want it to feel alive — not just something made to
    check a box,” she says. “Every song feels like a piece of me.”
    As an artist straddling both Egyptian heritage and a global perspective, RARA remains
    grounded in her mission. “It’s a constant conversation with myself,” she says about
    balancing cultural roots with global sounds. “But deep down, there’s something that’s
    mine — something warm. I try not to lose that.”
    With “King of the Glory Game,” RARA doesn’t just offer a track — she offers a moment
    of connection. And if she can bring someone a moment of peace, she considers it a
    success. “Honestly… just that one day, someone puts on one of my songs on a hard
    day, and feels like: ‘Okay. I can breathe now.’ That’s it.”

  • Creator to Creators S7 Ep 46 SIFUENTES
    2025/06/27
    Amazon Music SpotifyMore about artist BioBack in the mid-’80s, James Sifuentes began writing and recording some pretty goodpop rock. He and Bill, his brother and bandmate, dreamed of getting the songs re-recorded professionally, but life, other interests and careers intervened.Then came more life: age 50, cancer, Hodgkins’s lymphoma. He beat that. Ten yearslater, July 2023, turmoil at the hospital where he had been an executive for 19 yearsresulted in his firing. A few months after that, January 2024, he suffered a heart attackwhile interviewing for his current regional manager position with the Chicago ParkDistrict.He didn’t know about the heart attack until he went to urgent care after the interview.At this point, he tells himself that if he’s going to put out his music, he ought to do it, andby March, he persuades himself to get it done.Then, January 2025, disaster for the second January in a row. He is diagnosed withstage 4 pancreatic cancer, but now he is seriously committed to putting out his music.And the result, a year later, is “Summertime,” the single, a jazzy pop-rock anthem to theseason, and Summertime, a 12-track album of some pretty good pop rock transformedinto seriously good pop rock.It’s all under the name Sifuentes. It features Jim, his brother Bill on guitar, and MattRiggen, a multi-talented colleague from the park district, on drums, brass and piano.“Overall, it’s pop rock, but there’s some stuff that fits in different genres.”The single features the rocking guitar and beat you would expect from someoneinfluenced by the Beatles, especially John Lennon and Paul McCartney, funkadelic,(Parliament) and R&;B.And it also has some swinging brass work too.“The ’60s, I was only a little kid,” said Sifuentes. “My dad actually bought Beatlesalbums, and we were just listening to them and, yeah, they became it.”Growing up, living and working in Chicago, “Summertime,” to him, means the end of theice, snow and cold of winter and the “beauty, the energy when people get to go out,wear shorts, barbecue, head to the beach and enjoy a different feeling.”“It’s just trying to capture that feeling and make people feel good when they listen to thesong.”He has been writing, composing, playing and recording music ever since he and hisbrother were teens. At one time, he wanted to do that full time.“We just didn’t pull the trigger, my brother and I. We wanted to get into the studio torecord these songs. We wanted to hear what they would have sounded likeprofessionally.”After the heart attack last year, “I said, ‘I’m gonna get these songs done.’ In March oflast year, I said I’m gonna put out an album, so I set the goal.”But doubts set in: already 60, health not good, and though the music he had written andrecorded was good, he hadn’t been playing much, or singing.Somewhere in here, his daughter Amanda says to him about “Summertime,” which hewrote in his 40s, “I love that song, Dad. You should finish it.”“And I said, ‘You know what? I’m going to do this album. I will release it aroundsummertime, so, I want that to be the title.”He began work, getting back into musical shape, working over his songs, and byNovember, he was back in the studio.Then January, and this time it’s pancreatic cancer. But, “I’m always one to finish a goal.”Now it’s June, and the album is out.“And I celebrated yesterday,” he said. “My staff here at the park district, we held alistening, they called it a listening event, and they played the album. My brother, Mattand I did some of the songs, five of them, just acoustic versions, but it was really nice.”And that’s the story, he said. The love of music, the talent, the gift, has always beenthere, waiting to be unveiled.That’s what he calls it, an unveiling.“People know I play guitar, kind of, but didn’t know this other part of me, that I couldsing, or I can record, and I compose songs. It’s an unveiling of another part of Jim thatpeople might not know.”He wrote most of the songs when he was 18-25. “The Memory” is about where he grewup, “walking around the park, going to school.” “Searching for Another Day” he wrotewhen he was 18.“Life,” coming more than 30 years later, after the first bout with cancer, “kind ofcomplements that song, saying, like, ‘After your search, this is where you’re at.’”“Will You Be Mine” is R&B, “kind of a stepper.” “Loving You Dear,” “a catchy little clubsong.” The last song, “Yes, It’s Me,” started out as a love song to a woman namedOrquídea, orchid in English. It features a Latin flavor and Sifuentes on guitar.“But it became in many ways more about me, showing everyone that it’s me singing,recording, unveiling parts of me that were hidden, and still living fully.”He wrote other songs for people like him and his brother, people who grew up duringthe same period and listened to The Beatles, Elton John, The...
