Gary Camaro is the self-proclaimed Poet Laureate of Ashland Avenue, and the frontman for the local Chicago rock outfit The Wabash Cannonballs. His solo acoustic performances are a showcase of his original songwriting, as well as a deep cut selection of cover tunes in the alt-country, roots, rock, and delta blues styles. Influences of Son Volt, Kris Kristofferson, Gram Parsons, Kinky Friedman, The Jayhawks, Lightnin' Hopkins & Ramblin' Jack Elliott add to a performance of rowdy ol' beer drinkin' & foot stompin' anthems for the common man.
