ABOUT THE BAND
The Boy Band Night is the ultimate live tribute to the iconic groups that defined a generation, delivering a high-energy experience packed with the hits of the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, One Direction, and the Jonas Brothers.

Founded by Glenn Hudy and Kenny Braasch of The Right Stuff Entertainment, the group has evolved into one of the country’s most in-demand acts, touring nationally and internationally to bring “bachelorette blowout” energy to every stage. Whether you’re reliving the 90s or celebrating modern pop, The Boy Band Night invites the crowd to sing, scream, and dance through a nostalgic journey that always feels like the main event.

Formed with a sense of natural synergy, Maiden Chicago quickly evolved from a conceptual idea into a powerhouse tribute dedicated to “The Ultimate Iron Maiden Experience.” The band’s core instrumental lineup—Eric Babcock, Gary Ingram, Ralph Circelli, and Dan Driskill—solidified in late 2010 after a legendary first jam session that proved their musical chemistry was undeniable. Following an extensive five-month search for the perfect “Air Raid Siren,” the group completed their lineup with vocalist Bill Swanson in early 2011. Combining veteran musical proficiency with a deep-seated passion for the source material, Maiden Chicago possesses a rare, intangible stage energy that brings the spirit of Iron Maiden to fans across Chicagoland.

It’s Back To School time and we had a crazy idea! Mario &amp; Son’s very own Lance is setting up shop right in Michelle Kerfin State Farm’s office for one day only. The cuts for students are totally FREE! Simple trims, cuts, and fades! Nick’s family owns a generational barbershop in Oak Lawn. Why not offer free cuts to students for a one day special event? Everyone deserves to feel their best on their first day of school. There’s nothing better than getting a fresh fade or trim to start the school year ready to learn. Reserve a spot by contacting the office!!! Walk ins are welcome but there is no guarantee that they will be seen. 708-301-1800Huge thank you to Lance, Mario &amp; Son Hairstyling, and the whole Lazzara family!!!
