Uncle Sam is one of Chicagoland's most requested 80s rock cover band for playing with National acts...In 2008, we toured the country with Vince Neil, Slaughter, Firehouse, Trapt, and Skid Row. In 2009, we have shows booked again across the country opening for those same great bands and more. It’s a rock and roll party at every stop as we refuse to let go of the whole attitude of the 80’s band party style. Whitesnake, Motley Crue, Ozzy, Skid Row, Slaughter, Van Halen, Kiss, Cinderella, Tesla, AC-DC, Sammy Hagar, Judas Priest, Warrant, Black Sabbath, Queen, Scorpions…just to name a few. If you want the place turned in to a Rock and Roll Party you call the General...Uncle Sam! Oh and by the way, we have an original CD being recorded for release in the late spring/early summer of 2009.
Get ready to rock!
