Off Broadway with Special Guest Ten 96

OFF BROADWAY is an American Power-Pop Rock band founded by John Pazdan and the late Cliff Johnson in Oak Park, Illinois. After several line-up changes including the addition of songwriters/guitarists John Ivan and Robert Harding, the band’s debut album “ON” was released by Atlantic Records in 1979. The album reached No. 101 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the single “Stay in Time”, which reached No. 51 on the Billboard’s Hot 100 Record Charts. Off Broadway released a follow-up album, “Quick Turns”, on Atlantic Records in 1980 and continued touring for three years before going separate ways in 1983. In
early May 1980, “Stay in Time” peaked at number 9 on the weekly music surveys of their hometown radio superstation WLS-AM in Chicago, which gave the song huge amounts of airplay.  Along the way the band became colleagues and toured with CHEAP TRICK. The band currently consists of original “ON” album players: Jim Cunningham, (lead singer), John Pazdan (bass guitar/backing vocals), John Ivan (guitar), Bill Kowalski (drums), and Rob Harding (guitar/backing vocals). Bringing back all their Billboard chart toppers, this band still knows how to put on a show!
