Eric & The Dynamos pays tribute two musical giants: Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood. The band features one of Chicago’s
favorites, Louie Zagoras on guitar along with Scott Kaufman on keyboards,
Graham King on guitars, Ira Sussman on bass and Dave Harris on drums. The band plays
(almost) the entire Derrick & The Dominos album “Layla and Other Love Songs”, and then reaches deep into Clapton and Winwood's repertoire, with hits from Cream, Blind Faith & Traffic. A real treat for fans of these two exceptional musicians!
THE MAD DOGS JOE COCKER TRIBUTE Joe Cocker was the greatest interpreter of songs of his generation. Derrick Procell channels him,
with the same raw power, energy and blue eyed soul that only comes from deep within. Joe Cocker defined Blue Eyed Soul for 5 decades. We chronicle his breakout performances at Woodstock, The Mad Dogs
& Englishmen Tour with the legendary Leon Russell, to his solo artist career that flourished and kept his fans close to the heart of the man until he passed December 22, 2014. THE SOUL COMMITMENTS &
VAN MORRISON TRIBUTE 2016 marked the 25th anniversary of the Alan Parker film “The Commitments”.
A celebrated cult film about the struggles of urban life in northern Ireland and how American Soul music, lifted the spirits of the young men and women of this gritty city who were dubbed “The
Saviors of Dublin Soul”. Music from both soundtrack albums are performed. Van Morrison the first superstar
of Irish Rockers was auditioned for the role of the eldest band member, Joey “The Lips” Fagan. Morrison’s audition didn’t go well, but his Irish heartbeat is felt in the film and on our stage. Gene Weygandt (Broadway Musical veteran WICKED, BIG) performs Vans Music. DR. BOMBAY If you’re aching for killer covers from the 70s,
80s, 90s and today, give your nose a twitch and call for Dr. Bombay – they’ll come right away! Fronted by the beautifully good witch Cari Alexander, with Lee Golub on drums, Scott Kaufman on
keyboard, Geoff Koss and Andy Peterson on guitars, Bob Jenson
on bass David Rhind on trumpet, and Dave Harris playing percussion. You’ll
find their bewitching brand of music downright magical.
