Welcome back the Downhome Sophisticates from up Waukegan way.  This 4 piece band consists of: singer/guitarist David Dallison, harmonica player Patrick Reninger, bassist Bill Taylor and guitarist, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Chris Sipos.  Combining the intimacy of a folk group, the improvisation of a jazz combo, and the energy of a rock or blues band, the Downhome Sophsticates are versatile performers who can excite an audience with a spirited concert or keep the dance floor crowded.  Their sets nearly always include some classic soul or blues by Al Green or Muddy Waters, more contemporary selections by Tom Waits, Bob Dylan or Harry Connick Jr., and the occasional chestnut from a 21st century artist such as Gnarls Barkley, Weezer, or Jack Johnson.  Dinner is served until 10pm.  Drinks served until midnight or later.

Bobby Rex and the Nomads aka Biff and the Waybacks
Venue:115 Bourbon Street
Date:Saturday, September 25, 2010

Bobby Rex and the Nomads aka Biff and the Waybacks will be perfoming one big, crazy rock show this autumn at 115 Bourbon Street and we invite you all to come out!  In 1992 Rex put together a 5 piece band called the Nomads and performed original songs and covers in unique alternative rock and blues styles.  Paul Allodi on bass and shared vocals was there for all of it.  In late 1994 they reformed as Biff and the Waybacks, a solid rock and roll revue playing modern rock and digging on some of their favorite musical innovators of the past.  This line-up of players: Bobby Rex, Paul Allodi, Steve Wall, Herman Winkler, and Tom Malec has been in tact for over 12 years performing hundreds of fun interactive shows, parties, and events.  The mystery of "who really is Biff?" remains.

This performance at 115 Bourbon Street follows the 6pm - 10pm grade school reunion of ALL the classes from St. Denis Catholic Grade School from 1958 to 2001.  Bobby and his 5 siblings all attended that famed grade school on Chicago's Southwest side which is no longer.  Biff and the Waybacks will be performing in the BIG room starting at 10pm.

Join us in celebration, song, and dance at this huge blow-out!  Catholic Mass services will be held at St. Denis Church at 83rd Place and St. Louis Ave. at 4pm by Father Mass.
