Chicago’s Fabulous 50′s and 60′s Band are always certain to give a great show.  With over 100 years of combined experience, The Ragtops give their audience a reason to applaud.  Remember the  birth of Rock  ‘n Roll way back in 1955?  Take a trip back in time to a more innocent yesteryear, when sock-hops, poodle skirts, malt shops, and drive-in movies were the rage.  Who can forget those first teen idols?  Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Ricky Nelson.  What about the great vocal groups like Dion and The Belmonts and the Coasters.  Back in  the 50′s there was Doo Wop Music.  Just some guys standing on some street corner snapping their fingers and singing great harmonies.  Man was a great time everyone had back then!  The Ragtops play the great music of the 50′s and 60′s just the way you remember it.   You’ll think you’re back in time!  So, C’mon, Jump in, flip the top down, turn up the volume and take a nostalgic ride through the 50′s and 60′s with The Ragtops.

The Neverly Brothers are not an “oldies cover band,” nor are they a tribute act. They are a very unique and exciting retro-sonic concept…AND ABOVE ALL THEY ARE TRUE ENTERTAINERS!

Their enthusiastic stage show will transport you back in time on a retro-fueled musical tour of one of the most exciting phases in pop music history: the transition of rock n’ roll from its American Rockabilly roots to the British Invasion. Their song sequence & selection, accompanied by narrative historical footnotes, will illustrate how the music and energy of the 1950s American Rockabilly & Rock n’ Roll pioneers set the stage for the adventurous young bands of the early 1960s British Invasion movement. Their repertoire consists of show-stopping renditions of early hits by The Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis up through The Beatles, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones and many other artists who shaped rock n’ roll during the years 1955 through 1965.

Swingin Cowboy-Jason Petty
May 5, 2012
7:00 pm
Jason Petty’s newest creation is called “The Swinging Cowboys” and is a tribute to the music of the Great American West. This trip down memory lane consists of songs from Stephen Foster to the Singing Cowboys to Western Swing. An authentic western set along with some of the best musicians in the USA will make for an unforgettable night. Jason narrates the history of the early pioneers who brought the popular songs of the day westward with them. The first cowboys in the west used these songs to help soothe the herds of cattle and keep them from stampeding. The music became a staple of early saloons and was eventually recorded by the first stars of the silver screen such as Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. Around the same time as the singing cowboy craze came another American original…Western Swing music. Band leaders such as Bob Wills and Spade Cooley turned western swing into America’s dance music in the 1930′s and 40′s with such hits as ‘San Antonio Rose’ and ‘Shame, Shame On You’, among many others. Some of the songs included in this show are: Home On The Range, Streets Of Laredo, Cattle Call, Don’t Fence Me In, Back In The Saddle, Take Me Back To Tulsa and many, many more. It will bring back many memories for listeners of all ages. It’s a good, fun western-themed evening of music, stories and humor for the entire family. If you’ve ever seen one of Jason’s other shows, you know you won’t be disappointed. There will plenty of chances to sing along with Jason and whole gang as they take you back in time to the Great American West in “The Swinging Cowboys.”
