Pfreak Show has been knocking the socks, shoes, pants and halter-tops off mid-west club goers for the past 5 years with no real end in sight. With the emphasis on performance, Pfreak Show has raised the bar for all other acts by setting attendance records at nearly all of their venues. The seamless show of non-stop entertainment is no accident. Pfreak Show has been known to say "first we must entertain ourselves, we came out tonight to try and have more fun than the audience" This seems to be a never-ending battle with both sides victorious. This multimedia show with pfreaky and hilarious video clips, is woven in to a rambunctious cocktail shaker of psychedelic rock, spaced-out funk, hardcore rock, freestyle disco rap and everything else under the sun up to, and including the proverbial kitchen sink. ..

Comedy Night - Mo Alexander &
Chris Hegedus
Intelligence, debauchery, and all around entertainment, Mo Alexander is one of the most complete comics working in clubs and private events around today. Mo has no aspirations of resting on his laurels while there is funny to be spread upon this earth. Watching Mo Alexander is a night of hilarity and mischief that one won't soon forget. Though, he usually tries to leave you with the underlying message,"I'm trying to save the world, one comedy show at a time." and if he has to kick a kid off a bike to do it, well, you have to start somewhere.







Chris Hegedus is a young, witty comedian who loves to perform for an audience armed with a light and microphone. On stage, he shows characteristics from all three of his parents: sarcasm from his father, aloof playfulness from his mother, and sensibility and common sense from his stepmother. Chris challenged his act to grow more personal, intelligent, and thought provoking. Clever, relevant, funny - Chris is edgy but not vulgar; young but universal. Whether speaking on current culture, his own experiences, or everyday life; Chris wants everyone to laugh, think, and enjoy the moment.

Studebaker John & The Hawks
Studebaker John Grimaldi was born in an Italian-American section of Chicago and started playing harmonica at age 7. Under the spell of music he heard on Maxwell Street, Chicagos famed blues melting pot, Grimaldi began performing as Studebaker John and the Hawks in the 70s. The band name referenced the Studebaker Hawk, a car Grimaldi still owns today, and was also intended as a tribute to his friend, J.B. Hutto and the Hawks. John began playing guitar after a life-changing experience of seeing Hound Dog Taylor and the Houserockers perform. Hound Dog started playing, hitting notes that sent chills up and down my spine. He was versatile and powerful and would play rhythm as well as leads. I left there knowing what I wanted to do. I had to play slide guitar.
Saturday March 10

Chicago Rhythm and Blues Kings
Since March of 1993, the Chicago Rhythm and Blues Kings have been blasting out their own soul-steeped brand of R&B and blues on a nightly basis. But anyone who knows Windy City blues and R&B realizes that this band's collective history harks back a great deal further than that. Prior to '93, they were the celebrated Mellow Fellows, the high-energy, brass-leavened outfit that supplied skin-tight backing for giant-sized soul/blues singer Big Twist until his tragic 1990 death. For more than a decade, Big Twist & the Mellow Fellows reigned as one of the hottest attractions on the midwest blues circuit
