2002 - CHICAGO FIRE SOCCER TEAM MLS BLUES BAND - The Rabble Rousers Band "Rabble All Star Blues Band" performing at Cardinal Stadium & Soldier Field Stadium for the Chicago Fire MLS team in Chicago USA since 2002.
THE RABBLE ROUSERS BAND - One of the tightest and most entertaining new groups on the Chicago modern blues scene today. This compilation of songs captures the band live as they prepared to perform at THE 21 ST. ANNUAL CHICAGO BLUES FESTIVAL. The life force projecting from the audience into the band is almost visible; you can hear and feel the crowd. The tracks on this recording display the band's self proclaimed "HOT RODDIN' ROCK N' BLUES" style of music that is bursting with high octane energy and fuel injected fun. This powerhouse band of blues rock musicians features sizzling slide & lead guitar, soulful vocals, a dynamic rhythm section and a revved up Hammond organ with a Leslie speaker cabinet. Collectively the band creates an exciting live show and a sound that is spontaneous, raw and improvisational.
Rabble says, "behind every record there's a band with a story". The Rabble Rousers Band was formed in 2002. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary the definition of RABBLE-ROUSER is, "One that stirs up the masses of the people". Ironically, the Rabble Rousers first performance was crowd building for the Chicago Fire Major League Soccer Team as a pick up band of Chicago based professional musicians. From the very beginning the band became known as a hot night club act that "charges through fuel injected blues and roots rock with impressive energy". [CHICAGO READER, INC. 06/11/04 The Reader's Guide to the 21st Annual Chicago Blues Festival] After performing regularly on the Chicago music scene the band was scheduled to perform at the 21st Annual Chicago Blues Festival in June 2004. With only a few weeks to go before the festival the band recorded two live night club shows in May 2004. At these two performances the Rabble Rousers debuted new original compositions in addition to a collection of their favorite blues standards. The rest is history! The story ends with the 2005 release of "Live in Chicago", a compilation of the bands favorite original songs and blues standards from the May 2004 live recordings!
