BoDeans

BoDeans return to the MPOH stage for another high-energy filled night with songs you love!

BoDeans emerged out of Waukesha, WI in 1986 with the seminal debut, Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams, produced by T Bone Burnett. Following Outside Looking In (1987), Home (1989), Black and White (1991), Go Slow Down (1993) yielded Closer To Free, which famously served as the theme song for the smash hit television series Party of Five. With a sought-after discography, their music landed hundreds of television and film placements. Meanwhile, they transformed into a proven live phenomenon by supporting the likes of U2, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Tom Petty, The Pretenders, and David Bowie in addition to gracing the bills of Farm Aid, Summerfest, and ACL. Speaking to the group's legacy, the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame permanently entrenched BoDeans in the Midwest Artists Exhibit. Most recently, 2017's Thirteen arrived to widespread acclaim from The Chicago Tribune and Glide Magazine who spotlighted the music's "understated grace - an attribute that no doubt fuels the steadfast approach Kurt Neumann has employed of his thirty-plus years as a 'BoDean'." 

Fittingly, BoDeans kick this chapter off with the high-energy anthem "Ya Gotta Go Crazy". It charges forward with roots-y countrified swagger punctuated by an unshakable chant and hummable guitar solo.
