    C-Bob Bobrowski on Rok Brigade & the Death of Live Music | Hogpod Chicagoland Music Scene Podcast
    2026/08/26

    If you've spent any time in the Chicago tribute scene, you've probably seen Chris "C-Bob" Bobrowski on a stage somewhere — Rok Brigade, Super Unknown, Ten, No More Tears, No More Faith, and roughly ten other projects depending on the weekend.

    C-Bob returns to Hogpod with Pete Jansons and Bongo Mike for a wide-ranging one: AI and musicianship, the Chicago tribute scene, shrinking attention spans, David Lee Roth, legacy bands with zero original members, and Reggie's full-album Halloween shows — all circling the big question underneath: is live music becoming a dying art form, or is it just changing?

    Plus the Long Grove bridge that's been hit 75 times, C-Bob's line of the night — "Everybody wants to be a rock star; they just don't want to pay for it" — and the reveal that the man has roughly 28,000 albums catalogued in Excel and backed up on a NAS.

  • Personal Trainer by Day, Nancy Wilson by Night — Lisa LaManna | Hogpod Chicago Music Podcast

    Personal Trainer by Day, Nancy Wilson by Night — Lisa LaManna | Hogpod Chicago Music Podcast
    2026/08/19
    A guitar player walked into her Lake Zurich fitness studio, said "I have a proposition for you" — and that's how a personal trainer became the Nancy Wilson in one of Chicago's premier Heart tribute acts. Lisa LaManna sings and plays the Nancy Wilson role in Heart 2 Heartbreaker — the Chicagoland Heart & Pat Benatar tribute alongside Jerry (Benatar) and opera-trained Diva. This week she gets into getting recruited right before COVID, the terror of nailing the "Crazy On You" intro solo in heels ("you're on an island"), her years with the '80s All-Stars and the "I Love the '80s" all-star nights, first concert Billy Squier at the Providence Civic Center (and the video that "ruined him"), why Prince is her "music Jesus," front row at the Purple Rain tour, why Tinley Park's skyboxes wreck the sound, and a completely unhinged Pop-Tart debate involving Crisco, butter, microwaves and "extra gluten."🎯 KEY MOMENTS00:00 "I have a proposition for you" — a guitarist walks into her gym01:01 Welcome, Lisa01:05 Broken Oar storm show & the summer-festival weather gamble02:56 The Skokie Backlot Bash umbrella storm04:05 Chicago's premier Heart & Pat Benatar tribute — the Vixen / Heart of Glass connection05:29 Adam, Diva & the band — joining right before COVID05:45 The recruitment story, full version07:37 MaxFitness — her Lake Zurich training studio09:14 Festival showcases & meeting Aussie Reborn10:58 The washboard wedding & the "I Love the '80s" all-star nights13:10 Piano to guitar — "once you plug that thing in, there's no going back"14:58 The "Crazy On You" intro & playing in heels15:49 Solo nerves — "you're on an island"17:19 "How can you say no?" — the honor of playing Nancy18:05 Jerry & Diva — Evanescence, Joan Jett & Scandal19:38 The Warrior, FM/Easy FM & juggling bands21:32 Festival season & getting lost on the way to gigs24:30 Parking-lot war stories & the captain's suit26:57 Deep-cut Heart & the Bad Animals tour29:36 Why Tinley Park's sound gets screwed up (skyboxes)30:51 Ann & Nancy Wilson — key changes & aging rock voices33:28 Heart's "Stairway" at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame34:34 Rapid fire begins35:04 First concert — Billy Squier at the Providence Civic Center37:45 "That one video ruined him" — the Billy Squier debate39:44 Favorite artist: Prince — front row at Purple Rain, "music Jesus"41:31 The Gap Band, Earth, Wind & Fire & Paisley Park44:07 Favorite movie: Titanic45:14 The Pop-Tart question — Crisco, butter & "extra gluten"47:36 Where to train & catch the band — MaxFitness, Alpine Fest, Jack Tripper49:44 Gun to your head: Pop-Tart or hot dog?51:09 The wig that won't quit — "funny for everyone but me"52:18 Let's get all three back on📍 Heart 2 Heartbreaker - Lisa LaManna - Nancy Wilson - Heart tribute - Pat Benatar - Chicago cover bands - Crazy On You - Billy Squier - Prince - Purple Rain - MaxFitness - Lake Zurich - 80s rock - women in rock - Chicago music scene🎤 GUEST LINKSMaxFitness: https://www.maxfitnesslisa.com/Heart 2 Heartbreaker: https://heart-to-heartbreaker.com/Heart 2 Heartbreaker on Facebook: / heart2heartbreaker Lisa on Facebook: / lisa.lamanna ❤️ Support Hogpod on Patreon: / hogpod Hosted by Pete Jansons and Mike "Bongo" Orfanos (Bongo Mike).📞 Booking — booking@hogpod.org#Hogpod #ChicagoPodcast #MusicPodcast #Heart2Heartbreaker #HeartTribute #NancyWilson #PatBenatar #ChicagoMusicScene #TributeBand #80sRock #WomenInRock

    John Gabrysiak: 40 Years Booking Chicago — Johnny Winter, Duffel Bags of Cash & $175 to See a Laptop
    2026/08/12
    John Gabrysiak — "John G" — has spent 40+ years in the music business, from booking agent for John Mayall, Johnny Winter and Levon Helm to Music Director & Talent Buyer at Special Events Management (chicagoevents.com), where he now books the bands for Chicago's biggest summer street festivals.Pete and Bongo Mike sit down with John for a full-circle conversation: Pete booked the Cubby Bear in the early '90s; John was on the agency side that fed it. What follows is duffel bags of cash, sold-out shows in 20 minutes, the smoke weekend that cancelled BurgerFest, and an honest look at why a concert ticket went from $11.50 to $341.This episode opens with a tribute to Peter Katsis (1957–2026), the legendary Chicago-born music manager (Ministry, Bush, Smashing Pumpkins, Backstreet Boys), whose name comes up during John's Morrissey story.CHAPTERS0:00 Cold open — in memory of Peter Katsis0:40 Welcome — meet John G1:15 Billboard at the library - Elton John at 123:49 NIU concert committee: Cheap Trick, Zappa, Sammy Hagar5:02 American Famous Talent: Lonnie Brooks to John Mayall6:40 ZZ Top's Antenna Tour & Levon Helm with Ringo's All-Starrs8:05 Fred Bohlander and the birth of Monterey International9:43 Cubby Bear days, Q Productions & Coran Capshaw's $15011:44 Johnny Winter sells out the Cubby Bear in 20 minutes14:29 Duffel bags of cash - wire transfers & ACH18:11 The smoke weekend: BurgerFest Friday cancelled20:47 Weather, lightning & a festival monsoon save22:44 Freddie Jones' "In a Daydream" on the Artemis mission23:34 Festival economics: the $10 donation nobody pays26:01 Booking the season — it starts in October27:46 Fewer national acts / "drink and sing 'Jessie's Girl'"31:34 The opening-act shakedown: how agents bundle33:21 Why people stay home now35:04 DJs, laptops & "$175 to see a laptop"37:46 AI ads and unlicensed band photos40:05 Ticket prices: Rush at $11.50 vs $34145:53 VIP packages with "no artist participation"46:33 What Special Events Management actually does48:22 The Lincolnwood Fest turnaround51:04 Polestar & the idea of a local booking database53:07 How many fests? ~15 a season54:09 Rapid fire: the worst concert ever (Morrissey / Riviera)57:23 Molly Hatchet & the cowboy-hat standoff58:47 Pop-Tarts closer + come back soonGUESTJohn Gabrysiak — Music Director & Talent Buyer, Special Events Managementchicagoevents.com | LinkedIn: /in/johngabrysiak | X: @JGTRICK | IG: @johngchicago#Hogpod #ChicagoMusic #LiveMusic #ConcertBooking #MusicBusiness #ChicagoFestivals #JohnnyWinter #JohnMayall
