Wonder Lake Fall-O-Ween Fest Set List

Here’s the set list for the Wonder Lake Fall-O-Ween Fest. We play from 3 to 4:15PM. Hope to see you there!

The weather forecast is predicting a beautiful afternoon, so come on out and enjoy the weather and the fun! The great weather isn’t likely to last much longer, so enjoy it while you can.

The Fest raises funds to support the Wonder Lake Fire Protection District and goes from noon to 7PM. There will be fun for the whole family, so come on out and see what’s up.


Old School playing at the Wonder Lake Fall-O-Ween Fest

As promised, here is the next announcement for the fall. Old School will be playing at the Wonder Lake Fall-O-Ween Fest on Saturday afternoon, October 19th, from 3 to 4:15PM. Check the events page for all the details.

Meg Shanahan will again be featured for part of the set. She’s a fantastic vocalist that you don’t want to miss.

The proceeds from the Fall-O-Ween fest go to support the Wonder Lake Fire Protection District. There will be fun for the whole family, so come out and support a good cause!

Old School returns to Durty Nellie’s October 25th

Hot off the presses, Old School returns to Durty Nellie’s October 25th from 7 to 9PM. The details can be found on the Events page.

We played at Durty Nellie’s last fall and it was a fantastic gig. It marked the beginning of a resurgence for Old School and we’re very much looking forward to another great night of rock at this incredible venue.

Following her stellar performance with us at the Mount Prospect Downtown Block Party, Meg Shanahan will join us again as a special guest on a handful of songs. You don’t want to miss it. If you go to the Gallery page, it links to our Instagram which has pics and clips from recent gigs.

We have a couple other irons in the fire for the Fall, so stay tuned for some additional announcements to come, we hope, soon.

Old School late summer update

I thought it’s time for an update so you all didn’t think Old School has disappeared. We’re still here, but have taken a month off, only having gotten together once, for drinks, and to discuss what comes next.

First, thanks to all who came out for the Mount Prospect Downtown Block Party! We had a lot of fun. Special guest Meg Shanahan knocked it out of the park. We hope to do more great events like this in the future. Check out the Gallery page, which will link you to Old School’s Instagram, to see some posts from this fantastic afternoon. You can also see some photos from the Village of Mount Prospect here. Here’s a little taste.

Sooooo…..what comes next? Nothing is set in stone yet, but we’re working on a fall date. We’ll let you know when we have something firmed up. Meantime, we’re getting together tomorrow to start working on some new things, including Pearl Jam’s Alive and Even Flow, and School of Fish’s 3 Strange Days (comment if you remember that one). There’s also talk of bringing back some of the Bad Company and Led Zeppelin that we’ve not played in a while. The Song Remains the Same is one I’ve been itching to play for some time, so hopefully it makes the cut.

That’s the news here in the land of Old School. Stay in touch, and we’ll see you soon!

Set list for Mount Prospect Downtown Block Party

Here’s the set list for the Old School show at the Mount Prospect Downtown Block Party. It features music from The Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, Tonic, John Mayer, and Stone Temple Pilots among others. It will also include a Tony Donile original. We kick the weekend off at 4:30PM Friday July 26th. Check the Events page for all the info.

We are excited to have guest vocalist Meg Shanahan join us for a handful of songs. Meg is a very talented singer, you don’t want to miss it! This part of the show will include music from Brandi Carlile, Greta Van Fleet, and Carrie Underwood.

There’s something for everyone in this set. We’re excited to play and we hope to see you there!

For Apple Music users you can find a playlist here, or if you prefer Spotify here.

Thank you, and what’s happening!

Hello again. Thought it was time to update you on things.

First, thanks to everyone who came out for the Station 34 gig in April. It was a great night. We received a lot of great feedback and had a lot of fun. We appreciate every one of you who took time to come out and we look forward to doing it again soon.

On that note, we continue to rehearse and prepare for what comes next. And what is that? Currently, the Mount Prospect Downtown Block Party is the next thing on the calendar. We will be kicking off the festivities for the weekend, playing from 4:30PM to 6PM on Friday, July 26th. All the info can be found on the Events page. Mark your calendars so you don’t miss it.

We’re hoping to add another event in June. Keep checking back here for the info when that happens so that you don’t miss anything.

I feel like Old School is having a bit of a renaissance after some challenging years. We’re having fun, doing what we love! Thanks for coming along for the ride!

See you real soon!!!

Old School at Station 34 next Friday, April 5th

Next Friday, April 5th, Old School is playing at Station 34 in Mount Prospect. All the info can be found here. I’ve updated the Music tab with a set list for the gig. It may change slightly from what you see there, but that’s pretty close to what you’ll hear.

Final prep is in progress, and we’re excited to get out and play for you guys. We’re looking forward to seeing you there.
