Cobalt

About Me

Cobalt is Chicago's most excited rock/folk/pop/blues/awesome band. Young, enthusiastic, and blissfully ignorant of the latest indie trends, Cobalt's genre-fusing, instrument-swapping syncopated pop makes for one of the most entertaining live shows in Chicago. Cobalt keeps you guessing – and smiling – for the entire ride on their sweaty, high energy rock-train.
