Garnering comparisons to Regina Spektor, Ben Folds, Carole King, and Cole Porter, Chicago band DIANA & THE DISHES presents a unique, high-energy recipe of pop, soul, wit, tight musicianship and contagious fun. Since forming in 2008 around singer/songwriter/pianist, Diana Lawrence, the band has taken their city by storm, playing reputable rock venues such as the Schubas, Martyrs, Double Door and Subterranean, while also becoming favorites at listening rooms and creative events, including The Paper Machete and the Uptown Poetry Slam at The Green Mill. Throughout 2015 and 2016, the Diana & the Dishes played a monthly residency at the High Hat Club, a boutique music and comedy club on Chicago's north side.

Brothers and Others with Louis Zagoras, Friday, June 2, 8pm-11:30pm
Brothers and Others is an accumulation of years of friendship and shared creativity. Late in high school, Chip and Rob met when Chip saw Rob performing on stage at New Trier West and shortly after that, the duo partnered up with Tom Cloud and Matt Casey to form MESA. MESA became a favorite of Chicago's north side and north shore and the band started recording, expanding their reach around the Midwest.

Tommy Kleeman (Rob's brother) joined in late in the 70's and was followed shortly thereafter by keyboardist Pete Spero. The band gained a modicum of success with inclusion on the WKQX hometown album and appearances at Chicago Fest.

Brothers and Others takes the stage at 8 p.m. and will play until approximately 10 p.m., turning the mics over to ROLLOVER.

Founded by Louie Zagoras, lead singer/lead Guitarist and primary songwriter, ROLLOVER is deeply rooted in blues and classic guitar driven rock. Louie and Rollover toured the States back and forth in the 90's when Rollover's first record broke big on Chicago's 93.1 WXRT FM radio. Louie's song "Shipwreck" was the break-out single. His sound is described as "Roots Rock meets the Blues". Louie was the first Chicago Rock Artist ever to be signed by the Legendary Bill Graham Management (Santana, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Neville Brothers, Joe Satriani etc.).

With the popularity of Rollover's debut CD growing, Bill Graham put the band on the road supporting top Rock acts like The Allman Brothers, Joe Satriani, Sheryl Crow, Dave Mason, The Neville Brothers, Blues Traveler, John Hiatt, Hot Tuna, Johnny Winter, Jimmie Vaughan, Buddy Guy, Robin Trower, Eddie Money, and many others. In 1995 Louie's song "Shipwreck" was featured on A&M Records "H.o.r.d.e. CD Sampler." Rollover did many tour dates supporting Guitarist Joe Satriani and even went along with Joe to the U.K for a month of sold out shows in 1996. Upon returning to the states the band did two more sold out nights with Joe and the famous Fillmore in San Francisco. Learn more here.
