Brainchild is a band that combines the feeling of jazz & soul with the intensity of shredding guitar solos. Their growing list of original songs combined with a diverse selection of covers are a perfect blend of many styles of music. The best way to describe the sound is Brainchild. They are an up and coming band that's out to melt your face. Recently they have been traveling the mid-west rocking out with bands like Sublime, Marshall Tucker Band, Oteil and the Peacemakers, 56 Hope Rd., Family Groove Co. and Groovatron. Playing regularly in Chicago and Indianapolis. A recent highlight was having special guest Jake Cininnger from Umphrey's McGee sit in after a show in Peoria. Brainchild attended their 12th straight Summer Camp Music Festival this year and it was the best one yet! -

Spanning several years of the Pink Floyd catalog to cover some of the greatest Rock songs that should be in every music lovers collection.
This One's Pink brings you a complete show including the lights, sounds and visual screen elements that have made Pink Floyd's style of music a memorable experience. Songs from The Wall, The Division Bell, Animals and even the number one Platinum album Dark Side of the Moon! This One's Pink plays them all! These guys have done their homework and have the proven chops that can truly bring you a one-of-a-kind experience that few others have been able to achieve.
They have played theater stages, festival stages, including the Heart of Illinois Fair, the historic Apollo Theater in Peoria and even the small stage has been drenched in the sights and sounds of this tribute to one of the greatest rock groups in our history.
