The Smithereens
The Smithereens are a rock band from Carteret, New Jersey, United States.  The group formed in 1980 with members Pat DiNizio (vocals & guitar), Jim Babjak (guitar & vocals), Mike Mesaros now replaced with Severo Jornacion (bass guitar & vocals), and Dennis Diken (drums & percussion).  Brandishing heavy guitars and an unabashed fetish for British Invasion Pop, The Smithereens have earned a reputation as a great concert attraction with songs like, “Only A Memory”, “A Girl Like You”, “Blues Before and After”, and “Too Much Passion” cracking the Billboards Top 100.

Ralph’s World
Ralph’s World is the mega-fun musical planet where kids rock rock rock and dance dance dance to their own and their parents’ delight. It’s the creation of Ralph Covert: indie rocker, songwriter, playwright, and children’s book author. He’s taken the same high-energy and super-melodic sense that he developed for his touring pop-rock band to kid’s music- basically only the lyrics are changed for the ears of the innocent.  His McCartneyesque style (both musically and his sense of charm) has won him hundreds of thousands of three-feet-and-under fans and their parents.

Sixteen Candles
Established in 2003. Re-established in 2006. 16 Candles makes it their personal duty and pleasure to bring all the great 80's songs you love to life in full force. Their attention to detail and commitment to entertainment captivates audiences and inspires new ways of dancing and thinking (not to mention drinking). The members are 5 fun-loving guys with a simple love for the music of years gone by and a mission to fuse nostalgia and style to create a sight/sound spectacular unlike any other.

Hi Infidelity
Hi Infidelity, hailing from the western suburbs, has become one of Chicagoland’s favorite and largest drawing bands.  The band prides itself on interacting with their fans during and between sets and making them feel as if they are listening to the original artists perform their favorite songs.  Playing the biggest hits from REO, Journey, Bon Jovi and other classic rock giants, a Hi Infidelity show is a total concert experience.  It’s like listening to the real thing.

Wedding Banned
Skip the ceremony and start the party!  Wedding Banned is a musical experience, a show, an event and something you will not forget.  Wedding Banned has become the hottest party in the Midwest; playing all your favorite hits from the 80’s, 90’s, and beyond.  Wedding Banned picks two members from the audience to become the “bride” and “groom” and turns every show into the ultimate wedding reception.  Whether it’s the bride or groom on stage during the garter toss, or the audience rocking with the band, you can throw the rules of a traditional show out the window.  If you want to have one of those, “you should have been there nights,” come and see Wedding Banned!

Bad Examples
In the 1990's there simply was no better or more popular original rockin' pop band in the clubs of the Great Lakes region than The Bad Examples who played the great songs of Ralph Covert night after night. Album after album received both critical acclaim and substantial radio airplay which continues to this day. Their compact disc debut, Bad Is Beautiful, was named by Goldmine Magazine as one of the "50 Essential American Power Pop Albums of All-Time." Their signature anthem, "Not Dead Yet," proved prophetic as the sextet sounds better than ever with a three-guitar lineup and great harmonies. Ralph Covert leads the band through a diverse original repertoire that includes indelible hooks in high-energy blazers and literate ballads woven with sublime melodies.
