Pete Jive + The Press Box

Pete Jive delivers every time he performs. When he sings, charisma glides out of him and hugs you. Jive's gyrating, crazy legs maneuvers, turn-on-a-dime leaving two nickels syncopated rhythms, and punchy lyrics will heart-imprint you. A Pete Jive performance is an all-in, no one left seated affair, where Jive locks eyes, ears, legs, voice, fingers, and rapt attention around his audience. You don't hear a Pete Jive set; you and Pete live through it, together—that's the attuned intimacy Pete delivers to audiences.

“Brother John has been a resident musician at Buddy Guy’s Legends in Chicago for over 30 years.  Through his work with Chicago blues greats Buddy Guy & Otis Rush, he has jammed with Eric Clapton, Steve Miller, auditioned for the Black Crowes (in 1998, but they hired Jimmy Page instead), and acquired ringing endorsements from many other musicians of renown. For example: Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant had seen John play with Otis Rush at the Jazz Café in London. When Plant and Kattke met in person at the United Center in Chicago, Plant told Kattke: “You play a mean guitar!” George Benson came to the jam session that Kattke hosts at Buddy Guy’s Legends in Chicago. After hearing the opening set that John played with his band, Benson told him: “You’re fearless! I thought I was fearless! You’re fearless!””

MAPLE CASK RELEASE!! Tacos Rancheros (4-8pm) + Andrew Scott Denlinger + (5-8pm)

  • Whiskey Acres Distilling Company (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Andrew Scott Denlinger has been a part of the Chicago music scene for quite a while. His brand of American rock n’ roll is as diverse as the city he calls home. His fifth single, Draped In Fashion “is all about young love,” says Andrew. “It’s about the chase, the unknowns and the excitement of the moment.” Sonically, Draped In Fashion pulls from a mix of classic tones and modern influence. It’s fresh, with hints of nostalgia.  

Before the release his current solo-project, Andrew toured the nation as bassist for Chicago country-artist Nick Lynch, playing and performing for thousands across the nation. Together they rocked over 1,000 shows in honky-tonks, clubs, festivals, on ABC Chicago’s Windy City Live, and with a bunch of Country Music’s greatest acts.

Andrew Scott’s new music captures the essence of America, incorporating bluesy leads, guitar driven tunes, and heartfelt lyrics that leave a lasting impression on the listener. Lyrics stretch between heartache and love, from struggle to life. 

Andrew Scott Denlinger continues to share his music and moments with the world, writing and recording songs while playing a steady schedule of festivals, bars, campgrounds and more throughout the Midwest. His songs have been streamed over 400,000 times, with more music on the horizon. 

When asked how he would describe his sound, Andrew says this:

“[It’s] a musical representation of the world. …a sonic blending of our humanity and who we are. [My new music explores] the influences in my life: rock, blues, country, grunge, pop, and r&b and I try to see how they work together… that sounds pretty American to me!”
