Super Bowl Sunday: The BoDeans

Here they are, The BoDeans.  From Waukesha, Wisconsin.  They are Kurt Neumann (vocals & electric guitar) and Sam Llanas (vocals & acoustic guitar).  In 1985, after adding a drummer and a bassist, the band signed a contract with Slash/Warner Records and recorded their first album.  Early on, the BoDeans' sound was largely influenced by roots rock and heartland rock, but they soon moved more into the genre of alternative rock.  In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the band had several singles in the top 40 "mainstream rock" charts. In the mid-1990s, the band had two top 10 songs in the "Adult contemporary" charts. The band is best known for their 1993 song "Closer to Free" which was featured as the theme song of the TV series Party of Five,"  wiki.  And - click on this post's title for a clip of a nice cover version of Dreams, which is on this record.  She and I saw them at Ravinia a few years ago.
