Booking Info

If you’re visiting this page, you’re probably looking into booking Mad Bread. So let’s cut to the chase:

What can Mad Bread do for you?

Mad Bread concerts are exciting, high-energy shows that keep the audience engaged and having fun. We bring a good number of people to every show, and if you’ve got a built-in audience that needs entertainment, we keep them entertained and happy.

The music is a unique mix of bluegrass, rock, blues, and folk music. We want to get the audience’s toes tapping, feet dancing, hands clapping, and voices singing. Mad Bread’s philosophy is that the audience should enjoy listening as much as the band enjoys performing.

The band can play for any size audience and is capable of playing concerts in excess of 4 hours. Mad Bread has performed most of the major live music venues in Chicago, on the radio, in podcasts, and online.

There’s something for everyone at a Mad Bread concert: upbeat bluegrass sure to get the people moving, blues-rock tunes featuring hot electric guitar and harmonica, tear-in-your beer sing-alongs, and always a few surprises.

A note on responsibility:

Despite our fun-loving attitude, we realize that almost everyone we work with is running a business. Not every band/musician understands this concept. We get it.

• • We will always respect you and your audience/customers/guests
• • We will start our sets on time (our set up is relatively simple)
• • We will work hard to promote the show
• • We work with you in a straightforward and professional manner, and always fulfill our commitments

We want every gig to be a positive, mutually-beneficial experience.
