FINISH LINE CONCERT

Born almost 40 years ago in New Orleans, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band began as a house

band for the Dirty Dozen Social and Pleasure Club, providing funeral processions for the

community, often followed by jubilant dance parties. Today, the seven-member ensemble

has revitalized big brass music by infusing it with funk, bebop and even reggae, keeping

crowds on their feet with high octane performances. Their music has been featured on the

albums of David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Dr. John, Buckwheat Zydeco, Dave Matthews

Band, Modest Mouse, Widespread Panic, and the Black Crowes.

Take a closer look at some of the bands you’ll see on course. There’s plenty more where this came

from!:

Chicago Funk Mafia is a progressive funk band sent to Earth with a single mission; protect the

world from tyranny through extensive ass shaking. This collective of Chicago musicians take great

pride in their style of music and the joy it brings all who dare step on their dance floor. We are

Funky, We are Everywhere, Shake the Booty.

J-Livi & The Party is a Chicago-based brass band that focuses on playing nothing but funk and

hip-hop. We are heavily influenced by artists who are native to Chicago – any artist of renown

from our fair city has influenced The Party (in some ways personally), from Earth, Wind & Fire

right on up through Kanye West. Our song list includes tunes by Chicago, EWF, Jean Knight, Chaka

Khan, Stevie Wonder, CeeLo Green, Kanye, and Macklemore. J-Livi and the Party is a Pep Band on

steroids: our goal is to make every performance a party atmosphere while maintaining the highest

level of musicianship. Our band can PARTY, and we’re the loudest and baddest band in town! We

can’t wait to play for (and party with) you!

The Windy City Rev Ups perform revved up rock n’ blues music, a mix of original songs, classic

blues standards and rock n’ roll anthems. Their music captures the characteristic sound of Chicago

style blues fused with traditional hard hitting guitar driven rock n’ roll. The Windy City Rev Ups

have been performing in the Chicagoland for over 15 years and their experience includes 1,000’s

of live shows, plus 9 CD releases which have earned the band numerous Chicago area music and

media awards including Best Local CD Release, Best R&B Band and Best Blues Band.

Wild Skies has carved out their own, unique sound at the intersection of folk, rock & Americana,

the band members have come from all different musical backgrounds, each of them bringing a

different perspective to the collaboration. That diversity, at its core, is what helped Wild Skies

forge their own path and distinctive sound. The group pulls largely from modern indie/folk

influences, with big harmony hooks and anthemic finishes, though at the heart of it is music rooted

in a blend of the American music they grew up on.

School of Rock is a performance-based music school in Lakeview for kids aged 8-18. Every

summer, our Show Team, representing the best of our students, plays throughout the city at

numerous rock clubs, festivals, charity events, and block parties. Over the past year, our students

have performed at Lollapalooza, Riot Fest, Milwaukee Summerfest, Navy Pier NYE, and numerous

street festivals and city events.

Four Star Brass Band There ain’t no party like a Four Star Party. We are a professional Chicago

based New Orleans Style brass band ready to play any party. From festivals and stages to

weddings and crawfish boils, we are bringin’ the Louisiana sizzle to you all night. Come fuel the

excitement as the FOUR STAR BRASS BAND becomes the hottest and hardest hittin’ Brass Band of

their generation.
