SUMMARY:Brad Williams - Tour '24

He will be making a stop at Rialto Square Theatre on Sunday\, May 19 at 7:30 PM. Tickets are on sale now! \nWilliams’ show offers a fresh perspective on life’s quirks\, cleverly navigating through his experiences as a little person\, relationships\, and everyday situations. His humorous and inspiring observations on disability\, relationships\, sex\, and race consistently win over audiences; proving anyone can overcome their shortcomings. His high energy live performances frequently produce standing ovations from audience members which prompted the late Robin Williams to call him “Prozac with a head.” \nWilliams has parlayed his live performances into a multitude of stand-up television appearances\, including The Tonight Show\, Dave Attell’s Comedy Underground\, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. His first one-hour special\, Fun Size\, was the highest rated special on Showtime\, and a year later\, he followed that up with his second one\, Daddy Issues\, which was even more successful than the first. His third special in three years was an uproarious one\, hosting some of the edgiest comedians in the country from the prestigious Montreal Just For Laughs Festival. His last groundbreaking special on Netflix\, The Degenerates\, garnered more huge ratings and rave reviews. Also an accomplished actor\, Williams has appeared on numerous TV shows and feature films\, including FX’s Legit\, Sam and Cat\, Mind of Mencia\, Pitboss\, a recurring role on the Hulu original show Deadbeat\, and memorable roles in a plethora of movies\, including Little Evil\, produced by Scott Stuber (Ted)\, as well as the Netflix original Christopher Guest film\, Mascots\, and most recently Reno 911: It’s A Wonderful Heist. \nTickets on sale now: https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/07005EF3D1CD408F?

SUMMARY:Pat McGann
DESCRIPTION:Pat McGann appears at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet\, IL on May 17 at 8PM! \nPat McGann is quickly rising as one of the sharpest stand-ups in the comedy world. A relative latecomer to the scene\, Pat began stand up at the age of 31 after realizing he was not very good at selling packaging. He hustled his way to become the house emcee at Zanies Chicago\, where he distinguished himself as especially adept at working the crowd. \nA father of 3 young children\, Pat’s appeal stems from his quick wit & relatable take on the family. In 2017\, McGann began touring as the opening act for Sebastian Maniscalco\, moving with him from clubs to theaters\, and to arenas\, including 4 sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden. McGann’s relatively short\, but impressive resume\, includes performances on The Late Show with David Letterman\, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert\, Montreal’s famed Just For Laughs Festival\, Gilda’s LaughFest\, The Great American Comedy Festival\, and the Nashville Comedy Fest. McGann still calls Chicago home. \n  \nBuy Tickets:  https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/07005F88FA5E5275

SUMMARY:TUSK - The World's #1 Fleetwood Mac Tribute
DESCRIPTION:TUSK – The World’s #1 Fleetwood Mac Tribute appears at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet\, IL on November 16th! \nTusk has been criss-crossing the country since 2008 as The Ultimate Fleetwood Mac Tribute. But of all the Fleetwood Mac tributes playing around the United States today\, what exactly sets Tusk apart? \n  \nIs it more than five skilled professionals turned masters of their trade through decades of individual musical study\, live performance\, creative risk\, and devotion to the art? \n  \nIs it more than their affection and respect for the Fleetwood Mac experience\, an entity that continues to endure over 50 years of musical and cultural evolution? \n  \nIs it more than vocal similarities\, common physical traits\, or good costumes? \nTo be sure\, one does not fare well in the tribute scene without displaying some or all of these characteristics. So what qualities does Tusk possess that can’t be learned\, bought\, or created simply from a desire to have them? \n  \nChemistry. Synergy. Intuition. \nThe relationship among the five founding members of Tusk has a rich history that goes back more than four decades. Two met while playing Little League baseball. Two others met in middle school band and marched in lockstep through high school. All five have been playing music with one another over the years in various configurations of original bands\, jam bands\, singer-songwriter circles\, and alternative rock groups. Time\, trust\, and close friendship have cultivated an intimate familiarity with each other’s musical nuances\, shaping each performance with such precision that even the slightest variation\, virtually imperceptible to all but the five musicians sharing the stage\, is met with a wink and a nod\, and usually an inside joke. Tusk is more than a band; they are a family. \n  \nExperience the wonder of a Tusk show for yourself.

SUMMARY:Get the Led Out
DESCRIPTION:Get the Led Out appears March 4 at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet\, IL! \nFrom the bombastic and epic\, to the folky and mystical\, Get The Led Out (GTLO) have captured the essence of the recorded music of Led Zeppelin and brought it to the concert stage. The Philadelphia-based group consists of six veteran musicians intent on delivering Led Zeppelin live\, like you’ve never heard before. Utilizing the multi-instrumentalists at their disposal\, GTLO re-create the songs in all their depth and glory with the studio overdubs that Zeppelin themselves never performed. When you hear three guitars on the album\, GTLO delivers three guitarists on stage. No wigs or fake English accents\, GTLO brings what the audience wants – a high energy Zeppelin concert with an honest\, heart-thumping intensity. \nDubbed by the media as “The American Led Zeppelin\,” Get The Led Out offers a strong focus on the early years. They also touch on the deeper cuts that were seldom\, if ever heard in concert. GTLO also include a special “acoustic set” with Zep favorites such as “Tangerine” and “Hey Hey What Can I Do.” \nGTLO has amassed a strong national touring history\, having performed at major club and PAC venues across the country. GTLO’s approach to their performance of this hallowed catalog is not unlike a classical performance. “Led Zeppelin are sort of the classical composers of the rock era\,” says lead vocalist Paul Sinclair. “I believe 100 years from now they will be looked at as the Bach or Beethoven of our time. As cliché as it sounds\, their music is timeless.” \nA GTLO concert mimics the “light and shade” that are the embodiment of “The Mighty Zep.” Whether it’s the passion and fury with which they deliver the blues-soaked\, groove-driven rock anthems\, it’s their attention to detail and nuance that makes a Get The Led Out performance a truly awe-inspiring event! \nTickets are on sale now:  https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/07005D68B6682F51

SUMMARY:Buddy Guy - Damn Right Farewell
DESCRIPTION:Buddy Guy – Damn Right Farewell\, appears at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet\, IL on February 19 at 7PM! \nAt age 86\, Buddy Guy is a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee\, a major influence on rock titans like Jimi Hendrix\, Eric Clapton\, and Stevie Ray Vaughan\, a pioneer of Chicago’s fabled West Side sound\, and a living link to the city’s halcyon days of electric blues. Buddy Guy has received 8 GRAMMY Awards\, a 2015 Lifetime Achievement GRAMMY Award\, 38 Blues Music Awards (the most any artist has received)\, the Billboard Magazine Century Award for distinguished artistic achievement\, a Kennedy Center Honor\, and the Presidential National Medal of Arts. Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him #23 in its “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.” \nIn 2019\, Buddy Guy won his 8th and most recent GRAMMY Award for his 18th solo LP\, “The Blues Is Alive And Well”. \nIn July of 2021\, in honor of Buddy Guy’s 85th birthday\, PBS American Masters released “Buddy Guy: The Blues Chase The Blues Away”\, a new documentary following his rise from a childhood spent picking cotton in Louisiana to becoming one of the most influential guitar players of all time. The documentary features new interviews with Buddy Guy\, Carlos Santana\, Eric Clapton\, John Mayer\, Gary Clark Jr\, and more. \nThough Buddy Guy will forever be associated with Chicago\, his story actually begins in Louisiana. One of five children\, he was born in 1936 to a sharecropper’s family and raised on a plantation near the small town of Lettsworth\, located some 140 miles northwest of New Orleans. Buddy was just seven years old when he fashioned his first makeshift “guitar”—a two-string contraption attached to a piece of wood and secured with his mother’s hairpins. \nIn 1957\, he took his guitar to Chicago\, where he would permanently alter the direction of the instrument\, first on numerous sessions for Chess Records playing alongside Howlin’ Wolf\, Muddy Waters\, and the rest of the label’s legendary roster\, and then on recordings of his own. His incendiary style left its mark on guitarists from Jimmy Page to John Mayer. “He was for me what Elvis was probably like for other people\,” said Eric Clapton at Guy’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2005. “My course was set\, and he was my pilot.” \nSeven years later\, July 2012 proved to be one of Buddy Guy’s most remarkable years ever. He was awarded the 2012 Kennedy Center Honor for his lifetime contribution to American culture; earlier in the year\, at a performance at the White House\, he even persuaded President Obama to join him on a chorus of “Sweet Home Chicago.” Also in 2012\, he published his long-awaited memoir\, When I Left Home. \nThese many years later\, Buddy Guy remains a genuine American treasure and one of the final surviving connections to an historic era in the country’s musical evolution. \n  \nTickets are on sale at https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/07005D5AC8F6588E
