Evolution with Vinyl Answer

Evolution, Chicago's new premier rock band, has evolved from the ashes of Hi Infidelity. The three founding members of HiFi, Virgil Neace, Brad Hollands and Gary Scofield-- have formed a new band in the same style of their previous band that enjoyed much success over the past 20 years. You would be hard-pressed to find any venues in the Chicago music scene the three have not played, from clubs to outdoor festivals to casinos plus corporate and private events. 

The three new members (Shawn Anthony, Troy Grandt and Dan DiCaro) were selected from the many musicians that auditioned for this new project. Many of those who auditioned were exceptional, and we thank them for their interest.  Shawn, Troy and Dan, however, stood out among them, completing the band's special dynamic. After a few months of rehearsing, the band sounds tight, crisp, powerful, and ready to go beyond their past achievements. 

Evolution covers Bon Jovi, R.E.O Styx, Boston, Journey and all the songs you still love to hear.

The band's sound is incredibly dynamic and unique with the twin lead guitars of Virgil and Gary. Brad and Troy create a rhythm section that is second to none, holding down the foundation. On keys, Dan prides himself on replicating the original sound of each song we cover. Last, but far from least, Shawn has the ability to cover various vocal styles with an innate, melodic sense. Each member has spent most of their musical life playing this genre of music, which is evident in their performances. (Fans themselves, they love this music! Evolution hails from the Chicago suburbs,) where they play all the local clubs and fests. So come on out to a show, have some fun, and let the music carry you away!!!
