In the past two years the band has performed at many Chicagoland clubs, bike runs, Harley dealerships, and festivals. The ABB headlined the 2008 Illinois State HOG Rally and the 2008 Illinois Freedom Run, and supported Charlie Daniels and .38 Special at the Wisconsin State Fair. Other notable performances include the 2007 Rockfest in Cadott, Wisconsin, and supporting gigs with KISS, Three Doors Down, Tragically Hip, Third Eye Blind, Hinder, Gov't Mule, Chicago, Eve 6, Cross Canadian Ragweed, and Collective Soul.
