SUMMARY:GEOFF TATE’S OPERATION: MINDCRIME THE FINAL CHAPTER – “MINDCRIME” ALBUM IN IT’S ENTIRETY FOR THE LAST TIME with SPECIAL GUEST TOMAS McCARTHY
DESCRIPTION:Multi-platinum selling\, Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Geoff Tate is best known for his 30-plus years as the creative and driving force behind the progressive metal band Queensryche. Since its inception with Geoff at the helm\, Queensryche has sold over 20 million albums worldwide and has performed in upwards of fifty countries. Geoff is regarded as one of the most skilled vocalists in the genre with hundreds of modern\, popular artists citing him and his former band as a major influence. With the release of their landmark concept album Operation: Mindcrime (1988) — which won critical and popular acclaim and comparisons to the Who’s Tommy and Pink Floyd’s The Wall — Queensryche went on to bring their progressive music to sold-out audiences the world over. In 2014\, it was announced that Geoff and his band mates would be embarking on their farewell tour as Queensryche\, with a subsequent announcement stating that Queensryche with original lead singer Geoff Tate would be changing its name to “Operation: Mindcrime” in September for future tours and recordings. In 2025\, Geoff and the current line-up of Operation: Mindcrime\, hit the road to celebrate the final chapter of Operation: Mindcrime\, performing the 1988 landmark concept album from beginning to end in its entirety… It’s a show that Geoff loves to perform and fans love to see\, only proving that good music never goes out of style! \n\nTomás McCarthy’s sound is marked by contrast – his gravelly\, blues-laden vocal that lilts with the agility and melisma of his Irish spirit\, accompanied by nimble\, melodic guitar-playing and raucous\, hard-rock based grooves. Tomás has been entertaining audiences in Europe and the US with Fire and Water for years but 2025 will see some career highlights – the release of “Colours” coinciding with opening for Geoff Tate on the entire US run of Operation Mindcrime : The Final Chapter\, accompanied by his wife\, Clódagh on saxophone and fellow Irishman James Keegan on guitar. This opportunity not only highlights Tomás’s rising star but also underscores his ability to hold his own alongside rock legends. \n\n\nBuy Now

SUMMARY:BOURBON 'N BRASS SPEAKEASY: BLUES BEATLES – BRAZILIAN BLUES BAND
DESCRIPTION:Blues Beatles is a Brazilian blues band that mixes the melodies of the Beatles with traditional blues arrangements. It took one band member’s love of The Beatles and the rest of the bands’ love of the Blues to formulate one of the most entertaining Blues Outfits in the world today. Their sound is intimately appealing but at the same time powerful and infectious. They always become an “instant sensation” wherever they go and perform: New York City\, Las Vegas\, Chicago\, Memphis\, Orlando\, Charlotte\, Montgomery\, Chattanooga\, Petit-Rocher\, Aarhus\, Randers\, Trandal\, Esbjerg\, Brasilia\, Goiânia\, Rio de Janeiro\, São Paulo\, Belo Horizonte among others … it’s a long list! Most of the vocal melodies are kept in their original form\, but interpreted with Marcos Viana’s unique voice\, in an unpretentious and heart-felt way. The arrangements combine blues and soul grooves that suit the vocals of the songs while adding a different feel to them. Instrumental solos and improvisation\, typical elements of the blues\, are an integral part of the Blues Beatles style. \nNo RSVP needed.  There is a $15 cover charge that will be collected at the door or added to your tab. Seating is GA – first come\, first seated. To pre buy tickets\, please CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:AN EVENING WITH DEACON BLUES FEATURING 3-TIME GRAMMY NOMINEE BILLY BRANCH
DESCRIPTION:Deacon Blues are twelve stellar musicians\, composers and educators based in Chicago\, and they share a unique passion for the Becker/Fagen repository\, better known to the world as Steely Dan. Under the musical leadership of Steven Kikoen & Thomas Linsk\, the group reads as a “who’s who” of world-class musicians. Chicago luminaries and Grammy® winners include Howard Levy (Kenny Loggins\, Paul Simon\, Béla Fleck); Paul Wertico (Pat Metheny\, Wertico\, Cain\, & Gray); Corky Siegel (Chamber Blues); Ben Johnson & Charles Heath IV (Ramsey Lewis); Wally Hustin (Phoebe Snow\, Dave Mason\, Mark Stern\, David Benoit); Chuck Webb (Aretha Franklin\, Ramsey Lewis\, & Al Di Meola); Sugar Blue (The Rolling Stones); Billy Branch (The Sons of Blues); Khari Parker (George Benson\, Destiny’s Child); Richard Patterson (Miles Davis\, Michael McDonald\, Boz Scaggs); and Bob Lizik (The Beach Boys; Brian Wilson) – and are either permanent members or featured special guests of the band. Original Dan session musician and legendary drummer Bernard “Pretty” Purdie appeared with Deacon Blues at several of their Arcada and Des Plaines Theatre shows. Deacon Blues has structured their live repertoire to encompass a wider range of the Dan’s prolific material––all the “hits” are there\, but also include rarities as well as repertoire from the Dan’s 1991 reunion prototype––The New York Rock & Soul Revue. Deacon Blues has consistently played to sold-out audiences\, and has appeared on regional and national television. In the words of legendary Chicago FM Radio personality Bob Stroud\, “If you are a Dan fan\, you owe it to yourself to see Deacon Blues\, they’ve got all the right musicians with all the right chops\, they are an incredible tribute to the music of Steely Dan!” Deacon Blues will perform The Dan’s timeless hits including “Reelin’ In The Years\,” “Hey Nineteen\,” “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number\,” “Peg\,” “Do It Again\,” “FM\,” “Kid Charlemagne\,” and so many more!  \n \nBuy Now \nBilly Branch is an Emmy Award winner\, a 3-time Grammy Award nominee\, and a retired Grammy Governor.
