STYLE OF MUSIC - The Windy City Rev Ups perform revved up rock n' blues, a mixed of original songs, classic blues standards and rock n' roll anthems. Their music captures the characteristic sound of Chicago style blues fused with traditional hard hitting guitar driven Rock n' Roll. The Windy City Rev Ups live performances get rock clubs rocking, blues rooms smoking and dance floors hopping.
