About

Chicago-area Party Rock Band - 70s, 80s, 90s, deep cuts, all star players, and good times!

Every day is best, spent with friends.

Friend Zone began in 2025 as some members of top Chicagoland bands wanted to perform more together outside of their respective usual gigs. Friend Zone brings top level players focused on the joy of music. We have been the house band for summers at a bar in Highwood, have played large and small private events, and taken the stage all over the Midwest for street fests, county fairs, and city wide concerts.

Book us and welcome to the Friend Zone!
