COUNTRY HITS

SUNDAY, AUGUST 11 • 12 PM-10 PM

After many years of success as a rock and R&B cover band under the name The Ginge, GINGER ROAD launched in November of 2013, and has since taken Chicago by storm! Featuring the latest Country Music hits by the likes of Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, and Florida Georgia Line mixed with classic Country #1s from Big & Rich, Garth Brooks, Toby Keith and Johnny Cash, then throw in a dash of cross-over country rock from legends like The Allman Brothers, all played by highly skilled and energetic performers, and you’ve got the recipe for one heck of a rollicking good show!
