Stage Buzz: Enuff Z’Nuff, Heart By Heart, Catfish Keith
Chip Z’Nuff and Enuff Z’Nuff appear Thursday at WC Social Club and Friday at Hobart Art Theatre.
Heart was (and is) a rock staple on classic rock radio in the 70s and 80s, and it remains so 40+ years later. Hit singles “Barracuda,” Magic Man,” and “Crazy On You” were groundbreaking, featuring Seattle’s Wilson sisters (Ann and Nancy) and their bandmates. While the original band has gone their separate ways, Founding Heart bassist Steve Fossen and original Heart drummer Michael DeRosier are touring as Heart by Heart. Along with vocalist Somar Macek, guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist Lizzy Daymont, and guitarist Chad Quist, the band performs classic material from albums Dreamboat Annie, Magazine, Little Queen, Dog & Butterfly, Bebe Le Strange, and Private Audition. Heart by Heart appear at September 27 in Batavia at the Batavia Fine Arts Centre.
Chicago glam-pop rockers Enuff Z’Nuff’s fan base has been incredibly loyal since its 1984 formation. Fast forward to 2024, and the band’s legacy is well intact on recent albums Hardrock Nite and Finer Than Sin. Much of Enuff Z’Nuff’s fan base has gleefully accepted the current Chip Z’Nuff-led version of the band for over a decade. They’re touring with perfect touring partners Pretty Boy Floyd at WC Social Club on Thursday, September 26, in West Chicago, and Friday, September 27, at the Hobart Art Theatre. Tickets are still available.
Longtime independent music retailer in the Western Suburbs Tobias Music has a performance stage adjacent to their retail shop, and its great “living room show” vibe makes for an amazing, intimate venue. This Saturday, September 28, they’ll host acclaimed acoustic blues guitarist Catfish Keith back for his semi-annual visit to Downers Grove. He’ll be performing his classic songs and songs from his recent album Blues at Midnight. For tickets call 630-960-2455.
