Charlie Otto was the founder of the cult darlings This Must be the Band. He’s had the honor of playing alongside many amazingly talented people including some of his musical idols, such as Umphrey’s McGee, members of King Crimson, and Smashing Pumpkins. “Charlie Otto + His Gear” is his first solo project, running on the cutting edge of both music and video performance. The songs are not experimental, they are fully developed songs. The lyrics and chords are gushing with feeling, the drums are throbbing, the synths are huge, and it’s very electronic while still achieving rock and roll status.

FESTIVAL IS HELD ON TAYLOR STREET BETWEEN ASHLAND AND THROOP.
Taylor Street is one of the most historic neighborhoods in Chicago. From the late 1800s to about the 1950s, this area was a hub for Italian immigrants to settle and establish their families.

Chicago’s Little Italy Festa-Taylor Street celebrates the great history of the neighborhood and the rich culture of the generations of Italians who settled there decades ago. Fabulous food from award-winning area restaurants, several stages of continuous family entertainment, quality merchandise from Italy, and colorful cultural attractions make this event one of the most popular of the summer. Sponsored by Little Italy Chicago Neighborhood Association and Produced by Ron Onesti (who was born on Taylor Street) of Onesti Entertainment, Owner of The Arcada Theatre in St. Charles, Operator of the Des Plaines Theatre.

PROGNOSIS is Progressive Rock at its Finest. It is also an All-Star tribute to the entire genre. PROGNOSIS performs the music of Peter Gabriel, Genesis, YES, Emerson, Lake, & Palmer, Tears For Fears, Supertramp, and King Crimson. Evidently the British were on to something in the seventh decade of the last century! The vision for PROGNOSIS was born out of a copious love for the elements that have become the amalgam of the genre: Folk, Jazz, Rock, and Classical sensibilities matched to challenging time signatures with profound control over captivating tempos and dynamic range––all tempered with unique instrumentation. To say that Progressive Rock is a prolific art form is quite the understatement. The visionaries of PROGNOSIS are founding members, musical partners, and friends Steven Kikoen & Chris Siebold.
The presentation of PROGNOSIS is a complete theatrical event. The group has dedicated itself to the immaculate recreation of seminal Prog-Rock Masterworks––along with modern takes on Prog, accompanied by a comprehensive multimedia visual component––as well as a breathtaking light and laser-light show that are leaving audiences spellbound. PROGNOSIS is Steven Kikoen (Time Zone, Deacon Blues, Abbey Road, Big Suit, Supernatural, The Great Pretenders, Retro Radio); Chris Siebold (Psycles, Kick The Cat, Garrison Keillor, The Great Pretenders); Jon Paul (Tributosaurus); Andrew Lawrence (District 97); Tom Hipskind (Deacon Blues, Hamilton); Gregory Fundis (Fareed Haque, The Great Pretenders, Led Zeppelin 2); John Bowes (Abbey Road), Suzanne Cross (Deacon Blues, The Great Pretenders), and Ray Quinn (40,000 Headmen).
