Originally the "Antique Roadshow", the band decided to stop using that name when several unhappy people showed up at an outdoor event one day to have their "collectibles appraised".....Wrong Antique Roadshow! After changing the name to "The Roadshow Band", the search for a "steady" (thats code for "same guy every week") bass player continued. Kurt was added and the band played on. A recent change added Art in the lead guitar slot to form the current Roadshow crew. Music from the 50's, 60's , 70's, and 80's. Classic rock, a little country and a lot of fun. Great music never dies!

A transplanted Chicago boy from the north side, Barry started playing drums in high school. His first band, The Runaways, played extensively in the Chicago area at many of the local colleges, fraternities, and high schools. A former teacher, when not in his basement studio he can usually be found in the garage working on an old Mustang or Corvette.
Mike Creaney - Vocals/Guitar
Mike has been in the music business most of his life. Coming from a musical family, Mike played in many bands over the years. In addition to duties with The Roadshow Band, Mike has been seen in many establishments in the area as a solo performer or just "jammin with friends" at the Harbor Club, J&L Club, or anywhere else that leaves a microphone unguarded!
Kurt Fellig - Bass Guitar
Our "steady" bass player, Kurt provides the drive for the music. A resident of Roundlake, Kurt is the calming influence in the group. Kurts musical career has been intensive and extensive ! A talent with any instrument that has strings, he can also be seen bending reeds occasionally for a change of pace. Now if he only had 2 more hands! "Lets have some fun" has been his motto from day 1.
Art Creaney - Lead Guitar
Art has spent most of his life playing music and working in bands. The latest addition to the Roadshow Band, Art enjoys playing the music he grew up with, the stuff we listened to on the radio "back in the day" and holds a special place in his heart, especially "The Beatles".
