Entertainment - Buffalo, New York, United States
GRAND ILLUSION, is the award-winning regional STYX tribute band based in Buffalo, NY that regularly plays to enthusiastic crowds, faithfully recreating the feel of arena concert events of the 1970s. The band features RICK ALLEN on lead vocals & keyboards, BRIAN SCRANTON on vocals & guitars, JON WHITE on drums, RIC STAVE on bass guitar, vocals & synths and MARK CHIMES on vocals, guitars and guitar synthesizers.During their first listen, an uneasy tension was felt by STYX members as if they were more than flattered by the tribute. Later, STYX guitarist James Young spoke of their trepidations confiding in the boys that GRAND ILLUSION sounded so hauntingly genuine to the original versions, for a few seconds after their first listening to the demo, JY and Dennis DeYoung among others thought the tape was an unauthorized bootleg recording of their own performance. When they realized it was a tribute band, STYX knew they just HAD to meet these guys! Backstage VIP invites soon followed, and a couple of weeks later, GRAND ILLUSION was backstage partying with STYX. Ultimately, the members of STYX were flattered beyond words and immediate friendships were forged.GRAND ILLUSION was the opening act for HONEYMOON SUITE and CHEAP TRICK, and is as comfortable on stage in front of arena sized crowds as they are in more intimate venues for only a couple of hundred guests, bringing you all of your favorite STYX classics.Summer/Fall 2020 dates still available so contact them NOW for your next corporate event!
