   About Herbert Wiser Band

As a Green Bay resident wrote on a cocktail napkin after first seeing them:
"Think Talking Heads meets Frank Zappa meets Rage Against the Machine meets Devo meets Hall and Oates...ON STEROIDS!”

With the advent of so many great jam bands, one may think that composition is less important than virtuosic musicianship. Enter Chicago’s Herbert Wiser Band. While they are stellar musicians (as anyone who’s seen them live can attest) the main focus has always been to showcase their greatest asset: songwriting. Take their album Unusable Signal. Combining traditional rock rhythms with a myriad of musical influences ranging from country to hip-hop and everything in between, it's sure to have something for everyone and is the thing for people who crave musical diversity. Although they are a relatively young band, they pride themselves on the ability to put on an exciting live show any time and anywhere. This commitment to excellence has garnered them stage time with a diverse group of excellent musicians, sharing the stage with Umprhey's McGee, The Station, Tea Leaf Green, Backyard Tire Fire, Bumpus, Bottle of Justus, U-Melt, Phix, and many more.

Hey Guys! How are you doing?

I thought they only had those buses in the movies till I got to the US. Actually there's a lot of stuff from the movies you seem to have over there...

When are you coming over to the real world?!

Hey guys – Just stopping by to invite you to our Martyrs’ show this Friday June 13th.
We’ll be joined by hometown friends, 56 Hope Road and Eli Jones, and we’ll also be giving away tickets to The Lazy River Music and Arts Festival! It’s our only hometown appearance on the books for the summer, so we hope you can join us for this great night of Chicago music!
