Shotgun Elvis released their first CD "Somewhere in Chicago" in early 2004.
The title of the CD comes from the title track and crowd favorite "Somewhere in Chicago" which pays homage to all the great, forgotten times in a city that not only serves as a backdrop to good-times and memories but which also continues to be a real inspiration.
Currently the band is busy writing new songs for the next CD and playing out as often as possible.
