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. | ||||

This Friday night finds Scott DuBose and his accompanist, Pat in the Captain's Quarters from 8pm until 11:30. This is Scott's fifth time entertaining at the restaurant. Scott has a long background in Country music, but takes requests on the classic rock side as well. His band 101 Ranch performs dozens of high energy Country shows throughout the Midwest backing up the likes of Cris Cagle, Kelly Pickler, and others in that genre. More on Scott: Scott began his professional stage career as an actor after he attended the Second City Training Center. He acted in a number of productions in Chicago, most notably “Working” by Studs Turkle. While performing theater in Chicago, Scott started his band “The 101 Ranch”. He was doing shows and then running across town to do shows with his band. “It really came down to what I truly loved. I left theater because country music is what was in my heart.” It was a risky move. At that time in Chicago, country music was a hard sell. Scott persevered and found success. He has shared the bill with some of the biggest names in country music like Montgomery Gentry, Charlie Daniels, Gretchen Wilson, Keith Anderson, and Blackhawk just to name a few. “The fans have made what I do a reality. Without them I’d be nothing. I can’t thank them enough! They are the reason I do what I do!” | ||||
