Those who have followed BoDeans’ remarkable 30-year musical career know that their
blend of compelling songs and high energy performances have retained an unpretentious
rock & roll loyal following like no other.

Best known for their catchy single, “Closer To Free,” the band’s accessible adult alternative
sound has led to many a milestone, including a Rolling Stone Reader’s Poll for Best New
American Band in 1987, and support slots with U2, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Tom Petty,
George Thorogood, The Pretenders, David Bowie and numerous others.

After multiple chart-topping radio singles, and TV placements, BoDeans have defined a
generation that embraced songs like “Good Things,” “You Don’t Get Much,” “Idaho,” “If It
Makes You,” “Closer To Free,” “Stay,” and “All The World.”

Few would expect them to still be going strong – so many years after Wisconsin’s fa­vorite
musical sons first formed, but they’ve proved as energetic and determined as they did on
day one.

BoDeans now reside in a small group of bands that have managed to survive the ups and
downs of the industry, remaining true to their sound and their style, for 30 years, and
show no signs of slowing down
