Raue Center and Soundtracks of a Generation invites music lovers to step back in time and celebrate the golden era of rock with the "70s FM Radio Rock” a tribute to 70’s rock radio on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at 7 PM at Raue Center For The Arts in Crystal Lake, IL.
The evening captures the essence of rock 'n' roll through the eyes of deejay Lester the Nightfly, who lived the wild lifestyle that defined the 70s. Listeners will relive the excitement of Album-Oriented Rock as we bring to life the iconic sounds from legendary bands like Aerosmith and ZZ Top, showcasing the deep cuts that paved the way for what we now know as Classic Rock.
The show features a talented lineup of musicians including John Kattke on guitar and keyboard, Dennis Costis on guitar, Todd Lazar on bass, Paul Townsend on drums, Dan Patten on keyboard, John Bowes on saxophone, with vocals performed by Phil Smith, Jeff Anthony, Tim Dadabo, and Julie Miller. Together, they will recreate the exhilarating atmosphere of live rock radio that resonated through the airwaves from 1970 to 1979.
“The legacy of deejays in the 70s helped shape the music industry,” stated Doug James, Founder/Executive Producer of Soundtracks of a Generation. “We’re excited to honor that era and invite everyone to experience this extraordinary musical journey with us.”
