Their musical sets range from covering tunes from the 80’s era. Don’t be surprised to hear tunes from Adam Ant to Van Halen & everything in between. One of the attributes that sets 80’s Enough aside from other bands, is their ability to reproduce their selections to as close as the original artists like no other. Having a total of 4 vocalists (which is rare amongst cover bands) allows the band to reproduce a huge variety of songs. Let’s see your uncle’s band do that! During the spirited career of 80’s Enough, they have performed at tons of clubs, oodles of fests, and a plethora of private parties & corporate events. Some of the clubs & corporate events include but are not limited are as follows: Harrah’s Of Joliet-Stage 151 (Joliet, IL), The Blue Chip Casino (Michigan City, IN), Ridge Fest (Chicago Ridge, IL), Oak Lawn’s Concert In The Park (Oak Lawn, IL), Queen of Martyr’s Fest (Chicago, IL), 115 Bourbon Street (Chicago, IL), The Lodge At Four Lakes (Lisle, IL.), Famous Freddie’s Roadhouse (Mount Prospect & Fox Lake, IL), Eaglewood Resort and Spa (Itasca, IL), Lafayette Theatre’s New Year’s Eve Bash (Lafayette, IN), Oak Lawn Concert In The Park (Oak Lawn IL), 191 South (Mokena, IL), JW Holsteins (Tinley, IL), McGuire’s Pub (Woodstock, IL), Martini Park (Chicago, IL), Uncle Fatty’s Rum Resort (Chicago, IL), The Coloseum (Mokena, IL), Walter Payton’s Roundhouse (Aurora, IL), Kenny’s Pub (LaGrange, IL), Garrett Ripley’s (Chicago, IL), The Foundry (Aurora, IL), Blues Club (Mount Prospect, IL) and a host of others. The list does not stop there. Corporate gigs for The Standard Companies (Chicago, IL), Eli’s Cheesecake (yummy, North Chicago, IL), Danaher Concrete (Antioch, IL) as well as others can be found on this band’s impressive resume. 80’s Enough has the great ability to “play any room”. (Tons of references available upon request) So whether it’s a club, fest, corporate party or a Miss America judging pageant, 80’s Enough is the only choice! MEET THE BAND: LEAD VOCALS: Dee Dee is the vibrant beautiful lead singer of 80’s Enough. Her energetic stage presence and perfect pitch make her one sight that will not leave the collective minds of her audience any time soon. Dee Dee has been performing in bands since the ripe age of 16. Her exact age will not be stated but let’s assume that her experience spans for over many years. She has performed with bands of many different styles over that time. An elementary music teacher by day helps her to satisfy her musical fix by passing on her “musical know how” to today’s youth. But her real element is the stage, music, and of course, the audience. LEAD GUITAR—VOCALS: Kurt Bonomo reins as the lead guitarist & vocals position for 80’s Enough. As well as making private guitar lessons his full time job for the last 22 plus years, Kurt has been playing the local circuit in excess of 24 years. His recent credits include the guitar role for solo artist T.J. Dennis (female pop singer from Australia). Bonomo has, and still does accompany solo artist Lisa McClowry (singer and co-writer of various movie soundtracks which include “Rugrats In Paris” and “Dawson’s Creek”). More recent endeavors include performances with northwest Indiana’s acoustic cover band 2 Trailers Down and top 40 performing country band Desert Road & classic rock band Shortcuts. Kurt has hosted countless open mic nights with many musicians throughout the greater Chicago area for the past several years. BASS GUITAR—VOCALS: Johnny Sullivan takes care of the bass guitar & vocals duties for 80’s Enough. Some of Sullivan’s work was the drumming and writing duties for the rock group Loudmouth. Signed by Hollywood Records in the middle 90’s, Sullivan toured the U.S. for a year straight. During that time, Sullivan wrote and performed on the music soundtrack for an M-TV released movie called Varsity Blue. His song “Fly” took top billing over other artist’s such as Green Day and many others as it reached #8 on billboards top 100 and also went gold during that time. Influenced by old school musicians of yesteryear, Sullivan is considered to be one of the best and most well rounded players amongst his peers. DRUMS/PERCUSSION: Greg Campbell holds it all together for 80’s Enough. Campbell is a professional drummer and teacher with over 22 years of experience. Most recently he was performing and touring with blues guitarist Nick Moss. The group was nominated for the prestigious W.C. Handy (the equivalent to a Grammy for Blues) award in 2003 and again in 2004. Greg was also a member of the ten piece swing band "The Riff Rockets" and rock bands "I Speak Jive", "Japan Man" and "Ignatious". Other performing and recording credits include Kim Wilson and the "Fabulous Thunderbirds", Buddy Guy, Curtis Salgado of Santana, Willie Smith, Pinetop Perkins of Muddy Waters, Junior Watson, The Mighty Blue Kings, Little Charlie and the Nightcats, Rod Piaza and the Mighty Flyers, and Anson Funderburg.
