BUY OUR AWESOME CD @ THE SHOW!
In the spring of 2004, friends and coworkers Stolie (Chicago singer-songwriter) and Scott Schaefer (long-time lead singer for many a Chicago rock band), decided to pool their talents and take over the bustling Chicago music world. Self-declared “The Best Damn Cover Duo in the Windy City,†The Acoustic Sideshow aims to offer a degree of professionalism oft overlooked on the boozy cover gig circuit. Their collection of oldies-but-goodies as well as classics and contemporaries that anyone from the ages of 5 to 85 inevitably knows the words to makes them a perfect live music solution for any event from dinner background to raucous backyard barbecue. With top-notch sound gear, pro lighting equipment, and their super wonder twin powers, The Acoustic Sideshow can conquer anything. And, the girl/guy factor finds them well-suited for weddings and other events involving love, love, and more love.
While they continue to pursue this local rock endeavor, The Acoustic Sideshow has recently expanded their show as an interactive performance that fuses music with high doses of Pop Culture trivia, comedy, game show-style contests, old-school dance competitions, sing-alongs and even a little magic.
