Chicago's resident Facebook whore always has something to say. 
Born in Germany, But a proud Second City Saint, Cal has found comfort from behind the mic and acoustic guitar where he feels he keeps his lyrics honest and true. After two stints within bands (The Red Rocket Rebellion and The Great American Past Time), hes taken on the challenge of a solo project. 
Hes blends the foundations of music that he grew up on, from bands such as Sugarcult, Mayday Parade, A Day To Remember, Pierce The Veil, Fall Out Boy, and more with the occasional hip-hop/rap influences from Mac Miller, MGK, T.I., Ludacris, and others. To say that Cal has a large collection of artist within his iTunes would be accurate. 
Edgy yet comedic, calm yet quick, Vulgar yet sincere, Cal, if anything, is a fun listen and will bring something different and something classic to every track.
