A must see for area rock fans!

Blue Sky Revival (BSR) fans will be treated to music the likes of The Allman Brothers Band, Marshall

Tucker Band, Cream, CCR, Bob Seger, Traffic and The Eagles to name a few.

BSR - the only band I know of that takes Southern rock seriously as a movement while going beyond the

genre to include a variety of rock songs from the era when guitar was king.

Although Blue Sky Revival is new to the music scene they have over 100 years of rock experience

between them.

BSR consists of five ingredients:

The first two are the Pierron Brothers, Jim and Mike. These cats have been rocking and singing together

since they were in diapers. Jim on bass lays out a groove so deep you can drive a truck through it, while

Brother Mike's blazin’ guitar treats your ears to a rock and roll rollercoaster ride.

On vocals, keys and guitar is Jeff Krueger who has rocked stages around the mid west for over 30 years.

His heavy grinding organ brings essential grit and soulful essence to the band’s performances.

Holding down the beat on drums is one of the world’s hardest-working drummers, Mike Rowland. He is on

and locked on for a ride down thunder road with a driving beat that will have you dancing from your head

to your soul.

Last but not least on lead vocals and guitar is Frank Childress. Frank has been playing guitar and singing

since he was old enough to open his mouth and pick up a pick. Frank’s growling vocal style matches the

rough and raw sound of his guitar, the gritty and raspy delivery will have you on your feet screaming for

more.

“Whiskey sippin’ rock and roll.”

That’s a pretty good way to put it. What other words do you use to describe the sound of Bob Seger

jamming with a couple of Allman Brothers? Or the power of the Who’s rhythm section playing with

that crazy wah-wah guitar sound of Robin Trower? Sure, Blue Sky Revival is a “new” band, but each

member has a ton of playing experience, having chalked up hundreds (probably more like thousands)

of gigs playing in bands throughout the Midwest.

The thing about these guys is they seem to really love what they do, which shows; from their unique

song selection, their cool arrangements (check out their extended dual guitar harmony solos on Dear

Mr. Fantasy!), to their beautiful musical gear and even their offbeat sense of humor. It’s clear that

these guys are having fun onstage…which tends to be contagious with an audience.

If Blue Sky Revival ever visits your town, I’d highly recommend grabbing a few of your friends and

stopping down to see them – you’ll have a blast.

I’d bet my sippin’ glass of whiskey on it.

Cheers,

Dave Weyenberg

many years. In recent years, Jeff has had the privilege of playing with some of the finest musicians in the Fox Valley. Over the years,

the bands Jeff has played with have opened for REO Speedwagon, Styx, Cheap Trick, Poco and America. These latter two bands along
