About

From your local bar or festival, to your living room, backyard or Banquet Hall, The Acoustiholics are perfect for anyone who enjoys live music! From a cocktail hour, a night at your local bar to a house party that lasts all night, a solo, duo, trio and even quartet, we are your answer for live entertainment! We truly enjoy performing songs that everyone relates to, the songs they grew up to, to songs they dance to, and the songs they love to sing along to!

Our biggest compliments comes from anyone, young and old, who sings, dances, or just taps their foot along with us! From Rock to Reggae, the 60’s to today’s current hits, The Acoustiholics have got you covered!

For over twenty years Len and John have been entertaining in and around Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. At hundreds of local bars and festivals, banquet halls and house parties, we listened and learned from thousands of people who enjoyed the music we’ve performed. In bands like Backstage Pass and Alter Ego, Person to Person and Epic, we learned not only the importance of professionalism, but how to entertain an audience from 50 to over 5000!

John’s bio coming soon!

I have booked the Acoustiholics for fundraisers benefitting several non-profit organizations I work with. Not only were they friendly and accommodating to our needs and requests but Len and John put on a great show. The Acoustiholics played a wide variety of music. My guests from events such as a golf outings to paint night fundraisers were entertained and many asked for contact information so they could book Len and John for their events. I look forward to partnering with the Acoustiholics in the future!

The Acoustiholics are absolutely fantastic! They are so friendly, entertaining and so much fun. They have everyone singing and dancing the whole night! They always bring a crowd! We highly recommend Len and John! We’ve had them play our restaurants and at our home for a private party. They truly can play anything! We work with a lot of bands and they are our FAVORITE!
