“Chicago based Crown Vics have been performing throughout the Midwest and beyond, dedicating themselves to the earliest roots Rock & Roll/Rhythm & Blues. Their musical repertoire is based off of the early 1950’s, “Birth of Rock & Roll”, period of American music. Concentrating on the obscure, less traveled musical gems, the Crown Vics deliver a musical vibe and show reminiscent of an era dominated by electrified guitars, wailing saxes and…the Big Beat!”
