Tom Fuller Band sets holiday show at EvenFlow

GENEVA – The Tom Fuller Band will perform its annual Hometown Holiday Show from 8 to 11:30 p.m. Dec. 22 at EvenFlow Music & Spirits, 302 W. State St., Geneva.

The cover charge is $8. More information is available by calling EvenFlow at 331-248-0269.

‘We’re all excited about it,” Fuller said. “Every year we do a show and it’s gotten to be fun. I love Geneva, and we’re all from the Chicago area.”

In addition to Fuller, who plays guitar and sings, the other four band members are John Lewis of Oak Park who plays lead guitar and sings; Ryan Veitch, of Naperville, on keyboards and guitar; and Chicagoans Joel Masters on bass guitar and Jordan Kozer on drums.

Though the performance is dubbed a holiday show, it’s not Christmas music but “Tom Fuller classics” – which are classic rock songs that are “mentally friendly,” Fuller said.

“Songs that are getting up there in age and are just as relevant now as they were then,” Fuller said. “‘Radio Man,’ ‘Dragon Fight,’ ‘Franklin Street,’ ‘Coffeepot’ – a blues song – and some other power rock ballads. … Yesteryear music that makes you think – that is what we do. Not just the music part, but the lyric is just as important.”

The band will also do acoustic guitar sets between rock sets, he said.

“People kind of like that,” Fuller said. “They hear loud rock and then they hear acoustic guitar, and it gives everybody a break.”
