We owe a huge thank you to Redhorse and The Stoneflys, who are all generously donating their time and talents for this autumn treat. 

Redhorse and The Stoneflys collaborated on the album "Songs of the Chicago Region", with lyrics focusing on local nature and conservation efforts right here in Northeastern Illinois!   The Stoneflys have since released a new album, "Unearthed", which is available now at www.itunes.com or www.cdbaby.com/Artist/TheStoneflys .
