About the Band

"Hey out there, my name is Josh McGowan and I play guitar and sing for 24*13. I became a part of this band in 2007 in a process that started fatefully at a backyard graduation party in Skokie. Ever since then, it’s been a huge pleasure writing and playing music with Kevin & Jack. I’m extremely excited about the addition of Erin Egan to the band. I am also eternally grateful for the support we’ve had from our manager, Jim McKee. And to all the fans who have followed us from the beginning, my friends and family especially, thank you for coming out time and again and livin’ the party with us."
