Their crowd-pleasing repertoire is delivered with great enthusiasm every night they perform. The boys originally got together to have a good time jamming and gradually were drafted to play benefits for good causes around the community. One thing led to another and now they rock the house regularly at Fox Valley and Chicago area nightclubs. They have performed regularly at the House of Blues and the Emerald Isle in Chicago, the Roundhouse in Aurora, the Satisfied Frog in Winfield and the Catfish Club and Bandito Barney's in Dundee, Illinois. They have opened for national acts, Queen of the Blues Koko Taylor, Monkee Mickey Dolenz and The Marshall Tucker Band performing before thousands at outdoor festivals.
What critics have to say about "Still Alive" from the Empty Can Band...
"Recorded mostly at House Of Blues, Empty Can Band's self-released Still Alive is finally available. Their veteran tone would be surprising given this is their debut disc, however, they've been around for five years. They'd better sound good." - Steve Forstneger, Illinois Entertainer
"Sweet and tasty. The best bar band in the land." - Hambone, Hambone's Blues Party, 90.9 FM WDCB, College of DuPage Public Radio, Glen Ellyn, IL
"Dave Glynn, excellent songwriter, singer and second guitar player, leads The Empty Can Band. After four years without any recording they have gone to the recording studios to give us a cd with fourteen songs, all them full of delicious moments and different musical influences from folk to roots 'americana' music, rock and roll and naturally blues. Besides Dave Glynn, you will find Johnny Mack on lead guitar and keyboards, JD Klatt on bass, Rich Van Ham on harmonica and percussion and Paul Wegman on drums. Their music is specially devoted to those of you who want to have a good time or dance, with an unpretentious cool music that only looks for enjoyment." - Vicente Zúmel, La Hora Del Blues, Barcelona, Spain, 96.6 FM and President of the Barcelona Blues Society
