SUMMARY:POSTPONED DUE TO ILLNESS - INFINITY: CURRENT TO CLASSIC ULTIMATE ROCK EXPERIENCE
DESCRIPTION:“Classic to Current: The Ultimate Rock Experience” Formed in 1985\, Infinity grew from being not only a Journey Tribute band\, but one of the top drawing cover – bands in the Midwest. Two-plus decades rocking the hundreds of local music festivals lighting up the Chicago suburbs each summer have put Infinity in front of hundreds of thousands of fans. Consequently\, the band has built an incredible following\, making them the Top most successful cover bands in the nation’s third-largest metropolis. Infinity continues to break attendance records at Clubs and Festivals across Chicago and the Midwest. More importantly\, Infinity maintains the intangible ability to include the audience and make them feel as if they are part of the show.

This is the difference between performers and genuine entertainers. Perhaps this is the reason for the perpetual following and return to area Festivals and Clubs across the Midwest year after year after year.

Fans who saw the real Cranberries live often leave our shows in tears\, telling us: “I never thought I’d hear this music live again”. Led by the powerhouse vocals of Amanda Vonholtum—widely recognized as one of Colorado’s elite performers—LINGER is backed by a collective of seasoned musicians with over 25 years of stage experience. Together\, they deliver a masterclass in nostalgia\, capturing the haunting vulnerability and raw alternative power that defined a generation. Whether you’re a die-hard “Cranberry” or a 90s rock enthusiast\, LINGER invites you to relive the magic of the music that changed the world. Experience the nostalgia. Feel the energy.

SUMMARY:TODD RUNDGREN: DAMNED IF I DO TOUR
DESCRIPTION:Considered by many to be the “Ultimate Rock Cult Hero”\, Todd Rundgren has maintained a legion of fans through four decades. A pop savant who fastidiously avoided easy categorization throughout the course of his career\, Todd Rundgren straddled the gap separating a mainstream star from a cult figure. It was in the late 1960s when Todd’s searing guitar work reached a nationwide audience\, in his role as lead guitarist for the blues-psychedelic band Nazz. He wrote and arranged almost all of the work that went into the three albums the group produced. Their music ranged from Southern blues to hard rock to heavily orchestrated symphonies. Nazz broke up in the early 1970s and Todd released two solo albums under the name of Runt. His first big solo success was in 1971 with “We Gotta Get You a Woman” and in 1973 from the double album “Something/Anything?” he scored big on the charts with “I Saw the Light” and a revision of a Nazz song\, “Hello\, It’s Me.” In the late 1970s and through the 1980s Todd formed the group Utopia\, each member an accomplished musician and vocalist. Rundgren toured in late 2019 with Micky Dolenz\, Jason Scheff\, Christopher Cross and Joey Molland of Badfinger in celebration of the Beatles’ White Album on the “It Was Fifty Years Ago Today – A Tribute to the Beatles’ White Album”. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021. \nBuy Now\n\nVIP MERCHANDISE PACKAGE IS ALSO AVAILABLE.  CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE.
