RED WOODY Red Woody has been redefining what a cover band is all about. There were a couple things we wanted to focus on that would separate us from the other cover bands in the area. First, play songs that the people want to hear. Red Woody’s philosophy-there are great songs from every decade, why not play them?

Some of the Artists we cover are Journey, Matchbox 20, Bon Jovi, the Strokes, Bryan Adams, Goo Goo Dolls, AC/DC, Mellencamp, Poison, Skynyrd, Metro Station, Petty, Nine Days ...In a word..diversity.

---River City Blues Society

SUNFALLEN

With the release of their debut EP, SunFallen has firmly planted their boots on the Chicago music scene. The vintage feel of their rock and roll has been compared to that of the Rolling Stones, Black Crowes, and Led Zeppelin. You could feel the energy and excitement of the packed room as the band debuted their tracks live at their release party at Chicago’s famed Double Door in February.

Since then, audiences, big and small, have received the EP favorably across Chicagoland.

SunFallen has been fortunate enough to take the stage at some of Chicagoland’s premier venues, including Joe’s Bar, 115 Bourbon St, The Cubby Bear, The Abbey Pub, Blue Chip Casino, Ballydoyle, McGee’s, and plenty of other bars throughout the Midwest. Johnny B even played on of their songs on his popular morning show on 97.9, The Loop. The band has sold hundreds of copies since the release.

They also want to note that they intend to add “of thousands” to the last sentence.

But SunFallen didn’t just appear out of thin air. The success of the band has come from

the combined talent, practice, experience, and connections from the 5 members. The band has been playing together since 2006 and all of its members have come from past projects around Chicagoland. Members include Jay O’Malley on lead vocals and guitar, Brian Phillips on lead guitar, Zack Eret on the bass, Jojo Orga on the drums, and Matt Starr as a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist.

The band is self managed and in the short term wants to continue to play out and grow their Midwest audience, while perfecting new songs for an upcoming full-length release.

DOT DOT DOT

HI INFIDELITY

What makes you smile?” asks Dot Dot Dot, a Chicago quintet that takes the idea of making music fun quite seriously. The band operates as both a recording act and an entertainment ensemble, with four EPs of original material released to date. But Dot Dot Dot is perhaps best known for delivering an intense, energetic live show that features melodic and memorable original songs alongside rock, pop, and dance favorites from the 1980s through today. The band members all take lead vocals, swap instruments, and collectively curate a nonstop set of music that’s as fun as it is professional.

Page 24 • Wednesday, August 22, 2012 SUNDAY, August 26th Rout 38 Conceived in 2009 by musician Joe Loomis, Rout 38 was formed with only one requirement – TO HAVE FUN, both for our band and our audiences!

With a combined playing time of over 70 years, our members have been entertaining audiences in Illinois for decades.

BACK COUNTRY ROADS Back Country Roads has been playing to capacity crowds since June of 2009 when Mary, Kyle and Brian formed the band as a 3 piece acoustic band. They competed in the US99/Colgate Country Showdown in 2009 where they placed third in the state of Illinois. They also competed in CMT’s “Can You Duet” in Nashville.

NEAL MCCOY No doubt about it, in the 20 years since he released his first single, Neal McCoy - the one-of-a-kind country singer and consummate liver performer - has enjoyed every minute of his long, successful career.

Even with 11 albums, over 25 charted singles and countless thousands of touring miles already under his big belt buckle, the Longview, Texas-based artist has no intention of slowing down.

CORN FEST 2012 “I’m still on the road 220 days a year,” McCoy says, “It’s crazy, but I really do love it.”

Whether he’s delivering a stirring version of “America the Beautiful” in front of 65,000 standing, cheering fans in Texas Stadium or performing for troops in any number of harrowing, far-flung locales, or coming out of a nowhere with a top-10 comeback single on his own independent label, critics, radio programmers and legions of die hard fans have come to know that they can always expect the unexpected from McCoy. At the same time, McCoy is the most reliable and predictable of artists.

“We do work hard, and I’m going to work until I have entertained you.” he says.

“You may be the guy in coveralls sitting in the third row who’s there because his wife wanted to come and who doesn’t give a damn, but by the time my show is over we think you will be clapping, if nothing else, at least for the effort I put forth.”

Growing up the youngest of three, McCoy was subjected to the radio tastes of his older siblings, and he was treated to a steady diet of ‘70s era top-40 from Elton John to the Carpenters. His brother and sister also taught him all about family harmony.

“They would tell me, “You hear pitch well, so they made me think I could sing,” he recalls.

After finishing junior college, McCoy moved with his dad to nearby Longview,

Daily Chronicle / daily-chronicle.com where he landed his first professional gig, as lead singer in an (almost) famous all-black Kool & the Gang-style dance band, playing “tiny little clubs.” Before long, he left that gig for a better one - singing supper clubstyle standards. McCoy’s natural performing skills and uncanny way with an audience became more apparant with every passing night.

“I had a knack for sussing out whatever people I was in front of and saying and doing the right things to get along, “ he recalls. “I grew up with that attitude and when I was able to get onsage it was the same thing.”

To date, McCoy has done 13 USO tours, both domestic and overseas. McCoy’s USO tours have been life changing experiences, but his determination to leverage his celebrity status, to benefit worthy causes goes way back. In 1995, McCoy and his wife, Melinda, established the East Texas Angel Network. Through fundraising activities the organization has raised over five million dollars for medical treatments and related costs for children of East Texas.

Between record deals, between hits, going with his gut, singing from the heart, it’s been quite a ride, and these days you’ll find Neal McCoy on the road doing what he does besst - bringing down the house, night after night.

Air Fest There is nothing quite like the thrill of flying through history back to WWII! This plane is almost exactly as it was when it was built during the war. The only things that have changed are modern avionics in the cockpit and no live ammunition in the fifty caliber machine guns!

The pilots will be happy to tell you all about the airplane and its flying characteristics, and what makes the B-25 such a phenomenal airplane. In order to fly the B-25 for the CAF you must have hundreds of hours of flying experience and many many hours getting certified to fly this particular airplane. Most of our pilots are also current or retired commercial airline pilots.

Give a gift they’ll always remember, a flight through history!

A one hour experience is $450, this includes a preflight briefing, engine run-up and flight time. Please allow for at least 2 hours to meet with the crew, ask questions, hear colorful answers and view our extensive

Helicopter Rides

AM Air Service will be offering helicopter rides during the festival. AM Air Service is from Schaumburg, IL and also offers rides and tours throughout Chicagoland.

AM Air Service uses a Hughes OH-6A helicopter.

The Hughes OH-6A was designed for use as a military scout during the Vietnam War to meet the U.S. Army’s need for an extremely maneuverable light observation helicopter. Initially fielded in Vietnam in early 1968, the Hughes OH-6A was used for command and control, observation, target acquisition, and reconnaissance.

AMERICAN BARNSTORMERS TOUR LANDS IN DEKALB SHOWCASING THE GOLDEN AGE OF AVIATION 1930s will journey across the Midwest on a five-city tour.

The Tour aircraft will be on display from approximately 11 am to 6pm each day (weather permitting). A select group of aircraft and highly skilled aviators are chosen for each tour based on the uniqueness of their ships and their commitment to promoting vintage aviation. All barnstormers participate in recreating the era with period costumes, aircraft signage, historical information, and vintage props. They are aviation ambassadors and love to share the stories and personal history of their aircraft with anyone who will listen.

The American Barnstormers Tour, a nostalgic salute to the barnstormers who ventured across America during the 1920s seeking fame and fortune in their biplanes, is scheduled to visit DeKalb Corn Fest Aug. 24-26 2012. As many as fourteen meticulously restored vintage aircraft from the 1920s and

Each day the aircraft will take to the skies for the “Barnstormers Parade of Flight” with master of ceremonies, EAA Radio on-air personality, Jeff Montgomery. Jeff will entertain the crowd with his unique announcing style while they hear tall tales of barnstorming and learn the history of each biplane as the pilots fly overhead. The parade of flight times are announced each day after the pilots have had a chance to re-

view the winds and weather to determine the best time to fly.

Spectators can even experience the thrill of open cockpit flight for themselves and go barnstorming in a beautifully restored Travel Air, Waco, or New Standard vintage biplane.

Biplane rides will be available daily weather permitting.

Biplanes can take up to 4 passengers at a time and are $70.00 per person for the 15 minute flight experience.

No reservations and all ages can fly.

“These aren’t airplanes, they’re Time Machines” said tour organizer Clay Adams. “Our tour gives people from all over the country the chance to travel back in time and experience the same sights, sounds, and excitement they would have felt some 80 years ago as they looked out across the fields and saw the Barnstormers on the horizon.”

The period between the end of World War I and the United States’ entry into World War II is remembered as “The Golden Age of Aviation,” and it truly was. Barnstorming tours, trophy races, and record-setting flights all captured the public’s attention as they raced to see the daring flocks of birdman, and take their first flight in an open cockpit airplane.

The American Barnstormers Tour was born under the wing of an antique Travel Air biplane on a grass airfield in Iowa. In the company of friends and vintage biplane pilots plans were formed to resurrect the barnstorming tours of the 1920s, where many local citizens would see their first airplane up

close, or perhaps spend a few dollars for their first flight.

Tour organizers Clay Adams and Sarah Wilson saw an opportunity to give visitors from all backgrounds a unique vantage point to connect the past with the present. What started as just a dream has blossomed into a real barnstorming revival.

The first American Barnstormers Tour lifted off in 2006 with 17 airplanes from Kalamazoo, MI and traveled through 5 states to end at Air Venture in Oshkosh, WI. The response was tremendous; it reinforced our belief that people were still excited to see these beautiful aircraft and take their first biplane ride. In 2008 the Tour flew westward into America’s Heartland crossing Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri and grew to 19 aircraft. In 2010 we estimate more than 20,000 people traveled to see our 17 aircraft tour the Great Plains starting in Mason City, IA and working through the Dakotas to finish in Alexandria, MN. For the summer of 2012 the American Barnstormers will return to North Dakota and the Midwest with a slightly smaller crew of approximately 14 airplanes but are anticipating the numbers for biplane rides and attendance to be our biggest yet.
