THE ROLLING DEAD – JAM BAND STYLE TRIBUTE TO ROLLING STONES with SPECIAL GUEST PAWNSHOP
May 21 @ 7:30 pm
The Rolling Dead brings thier raw, gritty swagger to the theater, dissolving the boundary between the Rolling Stones’ iconic Exile era and the deep-space, transcendent jams of the Grateful Dead. This isn’t a standard tribute; it’s a living, breathing exploration of rock and roll’s most visceral roots. The performance is anchored by the creative engine of Izzy Kucera and the Izzy & Friends collective—a powerhouse musical conglomeration featuring the vocal and guitar fire of Steven Wilson (known to fans as Lightning Johns) and Rebel Rose. This show serves as the premier stage extension of the Izzy & Friends ecosystem, drawing on the deep talent and spirit of the Fox Valley Jammers community to create a night of high-energy “guest explosions.”
Kicking off the evening is Pawnshop, widely regarded as the Fox Valley’s best horn-driven band. With deep Chicago roots and a powerhouse brass section, they set the tone for a night that is raw, greasy, and unapologetically authentic. Experience the music as it was meant to be felt—no radio edits, just pure soul.
