  • Ep 206 The StingRays

    Send us Fan Mail

    The StingRays play the greatest music ever written and play it with the energy, passion and authenticity of the artists whose music they love. Their music, great rapport with audiences, their look and the famous StingRay moves have made them repeated favorites throughout the Midwest. The StingRays always get the crowd dancing and singing to songs from Rockabilly -- tons of sixties -- to the 70's. We were able to reel them in to trade a few barbs with them.

  • Ep 205 Ambidexterous

    Send us Fan Mail

    AMBIDEXTROUS is a 1960s-70s cover band, which began as a duet in 2014 with Scott Sodaro on electric guitar and his friend from 1st grade, Ray Lemieux, on acoustic. What makes AMBIDEXTROUS unique is their approach to the songs they love. They play them as best they can, using the original formulas which made those songs great. AMBIDEXTROUS has been playing all over the Chicagoland area for years. Only about 1% of the population is truly ambidextrous, so we were very fortunate to have them in the studio to see which way they are going.

  • Ep 203 Dolph Chaney and the Phins

    Send us Fan Mail

    While its original heyday was in the early ‘70s, power pop never went away; songwriters and musicians continued to craft finely-tuned, compact songs that – in their own often modest way – carried on the tradition. Dolph Chaney is one of those, but he’s much more than just one of those. Ray and Mike set the hook and reeled him in to get his story.

  • Ep 202 Members Only

    Send us Fan Mail

    For the past 8 years, Members Only has been steadily building up the Jacket Army. Featuring both, male and female lead vocals, they can bring the best dance music the 80’s has to offer. Hair, Rock, Pop, New Wave, they bring it all. We got our dancing shows on and spent some time with the band to see if they could show us some new moves.

    Chicagolands tribute to Creed. We would have been Unforgiven if we didn't welcome them to the studio with Arms Wide Open. We would have had to slink Away in Silence.

  • Ep 199 The Aftermath

    Send us Fan Mail

    An every-man’s band of guys and gals with superhuman talent. When you combine all these talented people, you get the Aftermath, a band name which is fitting, because after they melt your faces and blow your mind with their prowess, you’ll be picking yourself up off the floor in the “aftermath”. Before we wound up on the floor we met with them to see what makes this band tick, tick tick...

  • Ep 198 Oh Yes!

    Send us Fan Mail

    What started out, during the pandemic, as a twist on “Live from Daryl’s House” for local musicians, “Live at Matt’s Barn” was born. As the craze grew, more and more people wanted to book the band. Seems like the barnyard was coming to the people.

    Oh Yes! is now booking shows in the Chicagoland area and quickly becoming one of the hottest good time bands in the area.  Their incredible harmonies, diverse set list, and crowd interaction create an electric atmosphere that gets everyone up dancing and singing along during their show.

    And Oh Hell Yes!, we tracked them down to learn more about them.
