Jon Pheloung
Jon’s US-based band, Bludgers, released their new album Journey’s End in April. When not in the US, Jon performs his songs solo, including in the One Man Guy shows at BATS and Basement theatres. This year marks the Bludgers’ sixth album and 33rd year together. They have Dario Cohen to thank for their first record deal, from an Illinois record label in 1994.
Dario Cohen
Dario co-founded Boston glam rock pioneers Johanna Wild before a short stint at the Berklee College of Music. In New York, a Village Voice ad led him to join punk stalwarts The Dictators. His next project, Falcon Eddy, toured alongside The Kinks, Meat Loaf, and Rush. Then came Secret Chiefs, featuring Rock Hall of Famers Gary Ryan and Lee Crystal of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. In the Midwest, he formed The Delta Kings, a roadhouse band that played over 2,000 shows. His next band, Cody and the Gateway Drugs led him to Chicago where he now lives. His latest album, The Love Songs of Dario Cohen, showcases intimate, soul-baring songs echoing a lifetime of stories.
