The Handcuffs and The Sit Up Straights

Don’t miss Chicago’s own, The Handcuffs feating Brad Elvis of The Romantics on drums! Brad Elvis and Chloe Orwell formed The Handcuffs from the ashes of Big Hello, their first band together. The Handcuffs began as primarily a studio project, in which Elvis and Orwell wrote and recorded an abundance of material. During the process, they realized that they missed the live band experience, and so The Handcuffs as recording artists and a dynamic live band was born. Completing the line-up are bassist Emily Togni, lead guitarist Charlie Short, and keyboardist Carolyn Engelmann, all of whom originate from different parts of the country, but have made Chicago their home.
