The Oh Boys are Chicago's Best Loved Vintage Rock Band.* This throwback pop rock trio formed in 2018 to recreate the magic of Buddy Holly and the Crickets in a Chicago production of "Buddy: the Buddy Holly Story" at American Blues Theater. The trio honed their sound through nearly 100 sell-out performances, winning 5 Chicago Theatre Awards including Best Musical, Best Ensemble and Best Lead Performance along the way. 8 years later, these multi-instrumentalists and songwriters have published an album's worth of original songs and rocked a bevy of live performances, notably, The Cavern Club (Liverpool, UK), Fitzgerald’s Night Club (a National Historic Landmark in Berwyn, IL), and live on WFMT Folkstage Radio with Marilyn Rea-Beyer.
*unsubstantiated claim
“The Oh Boys have a joyous energy to their songs and performances. Their unconventional combination of rockabilly, psychedelic rock, and doo-wop is refreshing!” - Jason Narducy, Split Single/Superchunk
“Truly ear candy for the classic american bands/singers of yesteryear. Really has to be seen live to truly understand the musicianship and song crafting.” -Anthony Vacarro Helicopter Leaves / Beach Bunny
