EXIT 147 the Band has been Chicago’s Party Band since 2008. In 2021, the band was rebuilt with new players, singers and an all new presentation designed to entertain young and old audiences alike. Our new lead singers (Diana, Zach & Jimmy) are incredibly versatile and cover songs from all genres of music, including The Killers, Kelly Clarkson, Paramore, Bon Jovi, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Green Day, Rascal Flatts, Blink 182 & Carrie Underwood, to name a few. Founding member Jim Tinaglia remains as lead guitarist, while Jesse Sneath and Mike Kelly tag team on bass. Nick Tinaglia has taken over on drums as the heartbeat of our powerhouse party band.

EXIT 147 headlined several outstanding events in 2022, including Frontier Days Festival in Arlington Heights, IL, The Brat Stop Showcase Bar in Kenosha, WI, as well as formal fundraising engagements including St. James Jubilation in Lincolnshire, IL.

The rebirth of EXIT 147 the Band has been a tremendous success and has entertained packed audiences in all of its 2022 performances. We are available and committed to any and all open invitations for festivals, bars and corporate events in the future.
