EDGEWATER — Edgewater resident and musician Steven Solomon was so excited with the Cubs' postseason performance he wanted to sing the team's praises from the rooftops.
On Tuesday night, they led a 6-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals at Wrigley Field, securing the team's spot in the NLCS playoff series.
So, the 25-year-old professional pianist and songwriter (who made his musical debut at Carnegie Hall at age 20) wrote them a song.
"The Cubs Win It All" is a heartfelt melody that honestly depicts a fan's sheer disbelief and exuberance of the historically underdog team advancing to the playoffs.
The "original, upbeat, inspirational pop-rock song" repeats the Cubs will "make October reign" and "win it all," Solomon told DNAinfo.
It's a song that "gives Cubs fans an upbeat song that is full of positive vibes, that sheds all the past doubts that long time fans have seemed to have had trouble shaking over the years," he said.
Though it can be heard for heard for free on the music website Bandcamp, 100 percent of the cost of each $1 download will go toward Cubs Charities.
