Curt Cohiba & Jackpot the Umbrella Band headlined at the House of Blues last Thursday night and killed the performance. Cohiba and the Umbrella Band were scheduled to open earlier this month, but the box office and Chicago’s underground hip hop fans said otherwise. According to the numbers, Curt Cohiba’s talent was beyond being an opening act- he was meant to headline.
This up and coming rap artist/counselor is making some serious waves throughout the Windy City.
Those who have heard of him or his music knows that when it comes to his live performances, he aims to entertain. The band consists of young mental, medical, and musical professionals. Instruments range from the electric guitar to the saxophone.

The Pocket Shirt Player performed at The Cubby Bear less then a month ago with the band Sneezy! Curt Cohiba music is different. His style is different. Dressed in suspenders and Gucci glasses, his witty lyrics and memorable hooks, together build catchy and inspirational songs…so much so you might forget this guy’s a rapper.
No team of writers for this artist.
His songs are original and ultimately dope. Reminding you of the 90s  in one moment and remembering Eric Garner the next- Cohiba takes you with him on a journey through his mind… eventually finding the Loophole.
Get under the umbrella or get caught in the rain.
