McHenry County Illinois Area Bands and Music

This is a blog dedicated to the music scene in McHenry County Illinois and the surrounding counties. There is excellent entertainment surrounding us that many people don't know exists. Also, there are many bands in the area that are just plain bad .. but sometimes this can be entertaining ... in a weird sort of way. You're invited to respond, disagree and argue and maybe turn me on to some bands that nobody else know about. Let's see what happens.

About Me

Bandstalker
I really love the local McHenry County music scene. There are very good musicians and bands right here in our own back yard and we should support them ... be they good or not-so-good. It's still live music and that's where it's at!
