Rey Flores is an American newspaper columnist. He was born and raised in Chicago’s Bucktown of Mexican immigrant parents in 1967. Rey has been a social worker, community and labor organizer and now a freelance opinion columnist. He has been published regularly in the Chicago Tribune’s ‘Hoy’ newspaper, the Sun-Times News Group’s Herald News, Latinos Network in Chicago magazine, the Extra bilingual newspaper and Univision.com. Flores has been referred to as the “Chicano Mike Royko” by Editor and Publisher magazine, which also noted that he is “the most interesting columnist writing right now, that if he were writing primarily in English, his column would be turning heads and no doubt touching off a deluge of e-mails across Chicagoland”. Rey Flores was also the lead singer & guitarist for the power-pop trio the Statistics and later known as the Spring Reverb. Flores recorded a CD of original songs in 1999 at Plutone Sound Studios in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood. The Statistics 'sound' has a certain angst, and Indie-Rock vibe, not unlike fellow American midwest rock bands Soul Asylum and the Replacements; the Spring Reverb- sample song "Everyday" - more updates, contact ReyFloresUSA@gmail.com
