ABOUT MEMBERS ONLY
For the past 8 years, Members Only has been steadily building up the Jacket Army. We pride ourselves on faithful execution of your favorite 80's tunes. Our shows are a full sensory experience, complete with enhanced lighting, fog, tight harmonies, and music played 100% live with NO BACKING TRACKS - as live music is meant to be! Our latest iteration of our lineup, includes male and female lead singers to bring the best the decade has to offer, including some choice duets!
We play all over the Chicago area and are starting to look to states surrounding Illinois.
Come catch a show with us - you won't be disappointed.
Joe - Lead Vocals/Rhythm Guitar - When Members Only prayed to the vocal gods and asked for a great 80's singer, they screwed up and sent somebody who was a great singer, "in the 80's". With no time left and shows scheduled, we make certain to blow the dust off him before each show.
Lisa - Lead Vocals -Growing up in Colombia, Lisa Ford found herself in an 80s time-warp. As a teenager, her summers were spent driving convertibles through the mountains, roller blading down to the ice-cream shops, and flirting with the boys on the beaches. At her high school, she was cheerleading captain, and she became quite popular when her dad bought her a little red corvette to drive to school every day. On her 21st birthday, Lisa flew to California for a Night Ranger concert, where she fell in love with the keyboardist! Since that concert, she has made a full-time career of singing classic 80s hits.
Brian - Lead Guitar - In 1987, Brian was the first 9 year old to have a full-time job as the Bass Pro Shop Mascot. His beard and excellent fishing skills sent him soaring, but after seeing ZZ Top perform in 1988, he quickly devoted his free time to the guitar. Living in Chicagoland his whole life, he has wowed the crowds in venues small and large, still proudly wearing his childhood Bass Pro Fishing Vest! Brian offers guitar lessons to fellow fishing enthusiasts, and requires his students to throw away their razors.
Caleb - Keys - Coming from Indiana, he had only two choices: bale hay and work on a pig farm, or join Chicago's Best 80s band, Members Only. Caleb keeps a keyboard in every room of his wizarding abode and enchants the locals of Chicagoland with his futuristic synthesizing. If you catch him outside of his normal music life, you'll find him reading a Sci-Fi novel, sipping coffee, and daydreaming of owning a DeLorean someday...
Pete - Drums - Born in the frozen tundra of the Himalayas, Pete quickly gave up on his job as a Sherpa, choosing drums as a 12 year-old. Although widely regarded as “one beat off” he’s managed to become a semi-loved annoyance to the MO team.
Paul - Bass - At the tender age of 13, he was approached by childhood friends to join their band - Welcome to the Jungle was the first song on the playlist. Although it took the better part of 6 months to figure out that he could use all four of his fingers on his left hand, it's turned out OK.
*Still not good enough to play guitar...
