Dan’s original compositions have been heard nation wide on network television.

• Dan had a 10 year stint at The Second City Theater... As Music Director of the world famous improvisational cabaret, he has scored 8 award winning revues.He wrote original music for the series “My Talk Show” on the FOX-TV Network. He has also composed and arranged the music score for an Arts & Entertainment channel pilot entitled
  “The Second City’s 149th & 1/2 Revue”
  

  He has worked with film stars – James Belushi, Chris Farley, Bonnie Hunt (Jumanji, Beethoven), and Mike Meyers (Austin Powers, Wayne’s World), to name (drop) just a few.

  He has played in Europe …. Vienna and Prague

  He has played The Chicago Blues Fest
  

  He has even untied the shoelaces of stars such as: Sugar Blue, Wishbone Ash, Aron Burton, Koko Taylor,
  and jazz great Louie Belson.

Dan can read a room like a billboard, or he can be wallpaper. But he can’t be in both places at the same time…so call now before all the choice dates are gone!

• Songwriter/Guitarist Mick Scott has peppered his performances throughout the world with the likes of Jim Post, Corky Siegel and Jimmy Buffet.
  Mick’s personal vendetta against his math teacher’s disparaging remarks have forced him to play at least two polyrhythms at all times.
• Spicing up the bass lines for countless ensembles, Lou Marini is a main entree on everyone’s menu. Rockin’ Billy’s Wild Coyotes, bluesman Taildragger or Alan Gresik’s Swing Shift Orchestra (which performs every Thursday at The Green Mill ) are all quick to call Lou’s Upright bass with no short orders.
• Recording artist “PianoMan” Dan Gillogly salts a good portion of the band’s original material with his own brand of humor. After holding the piano chair for 10 years at the world renowned Second City Theater, Dan knows that if he has too much fun with this group of world class musicians,
  his fingers will explode. So come by and watch.

• Pete Foss on guitar
• PianoMan Dan Gillogly
• Danny DeWitt on drums
• Paul Recht on bass
• Lorenzo Thompson, lead vocals

• The only problem Pete Foss has on guitar is they’re made out of wood. Everytime he picks one up they start smokin’!!! His precision slide work is leaner than a sack full of ostrich burgers and his rhythm parts have more chunks than Gramma’s beef stew. This allows the other soloists to soar without any trouble.
  
• Speaking of senseless . . . don’t get anywhere near a piano with your shoelaces tied together. When the PianoMan Dan Gillogly is sittin’ down behind them 88’s, you’ll want to be free to move your feet to the boogie beat. And when his screamin’ Hammond organ chores serve as band glue, the rest of the rhythm section is screamin’ for their own mercy.
• When drummer Danny DeWitt and bassist Paul Recht were in grade school, they used to set off the fire alarms just to get out of class. Now they’re setting ‘em off everytime they sit down to play. And that’s why they’re in Trouble No More.
• This band is frequently fronted by Lorenzo Thompson, who as a young man, began singing without permission. His church thought they’d let him sing there just to keep him out of mischief. But it didn’t work.
  But now that he’s in T rouble No More, Lorenzo has devoured audiences all over the U.S. and abroad. His soulful vocal stylings and his ability to work the crowd have earned him the title “Mr. Entertainment”.
  So whether he’s squeezing those low-key ballads or belting out the grift on some foot stomping, 12-bar boogie,
  Lorenzo leaves the audience with no choice, NO TROUBLE — no lie!
  

So, replace ALL the batteries in your smoke detectors, untie your shoelaces and remove all the chairs in the place.
