b96 summer bash began performing at the local bar City. The lead singer used to listen to his father's record constantly as a kid. The drummer used to listen to his mother's tape constantly as a kid. b96 summer bash’s members grew up together. The band used to practice at the lead singer's basement.

b96 summer bash’s first album failed to sell, but the second album saved them from obscurity. The group plays plenty of arenas, but would rather play in the smaller venues in which they started.

b96 summer bash realized that they had a real chance to become a headlining national act as soon as Patricia Brady started the first fan club for the band in 1981. Initially the group only had a few fans from Champaign in the club, but after playing country wide the fan club’s membership exploded to a few thousand.

b96 summer bash's most current record has been heavily influenced by bands of the 1980s. The group may have just finished their newest release, but they are already planning their next move. b96 summer bash hope this next tour brings in more fans than ever.

The group has always had a good time in Chicago so they make sure to play there every year, even if they are not promoting anything. The group has all their tour information, from the tour schedule to the latest b96 summer bash tickets released, on TheSeats.com.
