About the event
The Nobodies are Bobbly Quatro (lead vocals/guitar), Tommy Valenzano (lead guitar/vocals), Bob Mesec (bass) and Steve Glover (drums). Special guests, the always awesome, Cheryl Lynn Tomblin opens the night with a solo set and Gunnar Linden will be closing the evening with his excellent originals and eclectic covers.
The Nobodies combine a punk-derived recklessness and garage-rock sensibility with lyrical wit and a bittersweet vulnerability. Their songs will help you forget your troubles and remember your triumphs.
Their debut EP - EVEN THE SCORE, VOL. 1 - was recorded and produced by Ellis Clark in 2025 at Angel City Studio in Chicago. It's as if they tossed punk, country, and power pop into an aural blender to make a musical cocktail called Americana AF.
Influences: Young Fresh Fellows, The Kinks, The Ramones, Harry Nilsson, The Replacements, Old 97s, The Monkees, Descendents, Buck Owens, The Lemonheads, Eddy Arnold, Green, and Nick Lowe.
