Forest Park-based band, THE REDMONDS, showcase a new line-up. Fronted by Mike Redmond of Forest Park and Katie Hull Redmond, a Brookfield native, the band features some of the best musicians from the region including Oak Park’s Mike Gorman of Off Broadway and Pezband fame on bass; top Chicago pedal steel guitar player Rich Koc; studio drummer Rick Nelson; and multi-instrumentalist L.J. Slavin who has played everywhere from television’s “Tool Time” to the Steppenwolf Theater. Playing music ranging from Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash to Civil Wars and the Lumineers, as well as original tunes, The Redmonds pull from several decades. The vast range of selections, synergy, and impeccable harmonies appeal to fans age 6-60. www.redmondsmusic.com
DUCT TAPE is led by Harry Witz, world-renowned record producer and live sound engineer for such bands as Heart, Cheap Trick, Joe Walsh and AC DC. After years of working behind the scenes Harry stuck a bunch of musicians together, hence the band’s name “Duct Tape”. The classic rock and modern pop repertoire is fronted by singer Katie Redmond of the “Redmonds” with Harry on guitar, Will Wiegler on drums, Tom Huguelet on bass, Eric Selner on keys, and local favorites Sharon Dusek and Laura Liden adding additional vocals. You never know who else might show up!
ROMEO BROTHERS, an acoustic duo featuring Tony Caponi and Bill Hall, will open the show with current rock and pop favorites.
