The Chicago-based blues rock band known as The Footlight District is scheduled to release their latest single, “Lightning,” on September 9th. Having already released two successful albums and the recent releases of two successful singles, The Footlight District has solidified themselves as a band that is destined for future successes, especially in their upcoming single.
For “Lightning,” the band was able to collaborate with Russell Marsden of Band of Skulls, bringing his many years of experience and alternative rock artistry to an already energetic group of musicians. After having the successes that The Footlight District has had, it is unsurprising that they were able to get a collaboration with someone as revered as Marsden for their electric new single.
Although the band has had their share of successes, they have had their share of hardships as well. For a period of time in 2005, the members of The Footlight District were homeless following Hurricane Katrina’s path of destruction in the United States. Despite this, the group was able to form closer connections to one another and appreciated the importance of connection with one another, which they try to display in their music and stage presence.
Comprising of five close-knit siblings, The Footlight District is able to bring an familiar, energetic, and memorable stage presence to their live performances. Luckily for those in the United Kingdom, the group has several shows scheduled from September 16th through October 7th, so if you’re looking for a good rock show, look no further than The Footlight District.
Be sure to check out “Lightning” when it is available on every music streaming service on September 9th and don’t forget to follow The Footlight District on social media to keep up with their latest projects!
