The Locals are an alternative rock / indie trio from Chicago, IL. Delivering exceptional sound created by Lead-singer and Guitarist, Yvonne Doll, Bassist, Christy Nunes, and Kirk Snedeker on drums. With captivating retro guitar rhythms, drum melodies with a modern spin and combined with Yvonne's powerful and smokey voice, this compelling combination makes this band certainly unique.
