Formed in the Fall of 2010, Brown Bag is a fresh, organic Rock & Roll band hailing from the South-side of Chicago, IL. Influences range from folk, rock, jam, jazz & more. A unique, yet acquainted group striving to develop a unique sound & style. Brown Bag refuses to stick to one specific musical movement. Their catalog is as diverse as their influences, while remaining concise & cohesive.
Currently, Brown Bag consists of Dave Waterman (Vocals/Guitar), Mike Ellis (Keys/Vocals), Dan Wonsover (Bass), Dan Cantone (Guitar/Vocals), and Matt Rezetko (Drums).
Brown Bag has played shows at Martyrs', The Tonic Room, Ace Bar, Reggie's, The Beverly Arts Center, Harte's Saloon, Whippersnap Music Fest 2012, ShoeFest 2012, and host their own annual festival, "Oink Fest" plus other endeavors.
Brown Bag has shared the stage with acts such as The funky Meters, Keller Williams, Johnny Winter, Greensky Bluegrass, Railroad Earth, Particle, Digital Tape Machine, Zmick, Strange Arrangement, Henhouse Powlers, Leadfoot, Family Groove Company, Old Shoe, Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons, Dave Hamilton, The Delta Saints, Leadfoot, Shapes & Colors, and many other excellent bands.
"A unique, yet acquainted group striving to develop an original sound & style by bringin' it straight to the people."
