Chicago's Skip Towne & The Greyhounds personify hard driving, heartfelt classic blues, jazz, swing, ballads, and downright good time Rockin' Blues that you can't lose!. The band has been regularly performing acoustically as a 3 PIECE up to an electric 10 PIECE BAND around the Midwest and frequently in Chicago area clubs such as The Park West, Buddy Guy Legends, Famous Dave's, Beale Street Blues Cafe, Frankie's Blue Room, Penny Road Pub, The Brat Stop, Porter's Oyster Bar, Cubby Bear North, Flatlanders, Port of Blarney, Blarney's Island, Pete Miller's, and The Firkin. The Band also plays for any type of Concert, Festival, Wedding, Private and Corporate Event.
Skip Towne & The Greyhounds capture audiences with their own top notch brand of "The Blues with a Feeling" ! The XXX dynamic, large-size vocals of Peter Quinn are a must to be heard. He sings the classics, the ballads, and ALL the blues with such hard pushing drive and emotion that crowds always fall for Peter's special delivery!
The power- packed "BIG HOUSE HORNS" consists of veteran saxman, Tom "Shoes" Trinka, joined by Peter Quinn on harmonica. The Big House Boys excel at solo and section work. Johnny "Showtime" Janowiak (Liquid Soul), and Kenny Anderson (Ohio Players), are often added for larger shows. www.johnnyshowtime.com




Everyone will hear a lifetime of devotion to the Blues in the Guitar style of Harry Reinhart. Radiant chords and tasty solos are his specialty.

"Brother John" Kattke has played with Eric Clapton, Maceo Parker, Black Crowes, George Benson, Buddy Guy, Koko Taylor, and Otis Rush, from the "Tonight Show" to the Chicago Blues Festival, John is a brilliant vocalist, guitarist and keyboardist.

From Steam-Train Rhythms to Chicago Shuffle Beats to soulful slow Blues numbers, the pairing of Jay Olaszek's bass and Jim Murray's drums make the music a total groove. Skip's rhythm section is a unified pounding heartbeat resulting from a rich blend of their music theory backgrounds with years of studio work and live performances.
