John-Franklin Dandridge lives and writes in Chicago, Illinois. He received his M.F.A. in poetry from Columbia College Chicago. His poems have been published in several literary journals and online zines, the latest of which are the Smoking Poet, Spirit’s Journal and Fast Geek Reader.

Vo Era is a professional independent recording artist that hit Chicago's soul music scene in 2003 with a song in his heart and a guitar in his hand. His first performances were received by the wide and receptive audience known affectionately to him as "the subway commuters." With the love and support of his eclectic audience, Vo has since performed at such venues as The Wild Hare, The Cotton Club, Winestyles/South Loop, and many others. Vo Era's unique sound fuses poignantly simple lyrics with funky soulful guitar rhythms. Vo knows how to musically take a common phrase and paint the most colorful and extraordinary picture of life's most relatable occurrences making it easy to identify his acute skill and life experience within his music.
