Great retro venue, this tiki themed restaurant and bar celebrates 35 years of "Tiki-ing". It's the Crown Vics' first time into this great retro venue. Please called ahead and make reservations to try out their Asian Fusion Cuisine and tropical drinks. This is a beautiful place...a real gem!
Steeped in the big beat rhythms of Bill Haley & the Comets, the screaming saxes of early honkers like Joe Houston and the frenetic energy of Freddie Bell and Jimmy Cavallo, the six piece Crown Vics recreate the vintage sounds, sights and vibe of an early 50’s Alan Freed stage spectacular—one that has to be seen to be believed.
With an upright slap bass, drums and guitar, the Crown Vics’ rhythm section provides the foundation and heartbeat of the band’s solid vibe. The group’s signature sound is created by the tenor and baritone saxophones that engage the audience with bar-walking solos and stage antics. Fronted by veteran shouter, Mike Kinnavy, the Crown Vics become Chicago’s most authentic 1950’s Birth of Rock & Roll band!
