Friday Entertainment Schedule, June 27:

 

The Solid-Aire Band


Friday: 5:00 PM Start

About:The Solid-Aire Band, like any band's members, started out in other bands that just ended up getting together to jamb, have fun, and see where it took us. Initial efforts found us with numerous songs on our playlist and we headed to the studio to record a handful of songs to pass around and try and get gigs. Well, it worked, and what started as a garage band has now turned into a gigging cover band performing Rock n' Roll hits from the 50's through today in the greater Chicagoland area.
