JB Vannatta writes the kind of Chicago-rooted songs that live in the gut first, all heartland rock edges, late-night pedal steel, and verses about love, loss, and the loners in between. The Midnight Thieves give the stories muscle and swing, turning ballads into slow burns and barroom rockers into singalongs. The Hurtin Kind opens with classic honky-tonk grit, the right prelude for a Friday 7 pm downbeat that treats lyric and groove like equal partners.
