Strung Out is Chicago’s Ultimate 70’s Musical Experience. We’ve dug through the incredible treasure trove of classic 70’s music that other bands overlook and found the greatest songs that are as diverse as the decade itself! Rock, soul, funk and fantastic One Hit Wonders that are instantly recognizable and deeply woven into the fabric of our culture and our memories.

Fresh Hops
Fresh Hops is a touring 4 piece Multi-Genre bending, Rock band from Northwest Indiana. The band formed in March 2008 as a musical improvisational outlet among friends. Now Fresh Hops has evolved into a captivating, high energy live act. The group has seen numerous line ups and instrument inclusion which has led to an eclectic mix of sounds and atmospheres. As writers and performers Fresh Hops constantly blurs the lines between genres and style, often during the course of a single song. That “anything goes” attitude has translated to a stage show that remains fresh and fun from show to show. The realization that jazz, classic soul, bluegrass, classical, metal and progressive jam rock can all shake hands and play nice guided them to create remarkable tunes from an ever-expanding palette.

Liv Hatfield
Hi! I’m Olivia Hatfield. I’m a 14yo singer, song writer and musician. I love to sing & have been performing since 5yo! Subscribe & check back often for covers of popular songs, original music and performance dates. When I was 2yo, I began having seizures. My parents were told that I had a 50% chance of ever being able to speak. With medication, therapy &lots of prayer, the seizures stopped. I learned to speak & developed a love of singing. My first performance was Happy Birthday, Jesus at my preschool program. I began taking voice lessons at 9. At 10, I was invited to audition for a performance group for aspiring artists. At 11, I begin learning the ukulele & playing local festivals. At 12, I began taking guitar lessons & performing at local open mics. Now, I’m writing & performing my own music, making a music video & opening for a Nashville up & comer. I also play volleyball so I might sneak in a clip of my team & I putting the smack down on the court;) www.youtube.com/@
