The Smithereens from the Heart with Dennis Diken

The Smithereens continue touring with three original members (guitarist Jim Babjak, drummer Dennis Diken and bassist Mike Mesaros) with a nod to heaven for their brother in sound, founding lead singer, songwriter, guitarist Pat DiNizio who passed in 2017. The band is going to be performing in Wood Dale on June 28 at Prairie Fest in Community Park with the great Marshall Crenshaw taking the microphone. The website is officialsmithereens.com.

...There’s a powerful new song from Grammy nominated, the storyteller and Chicago treasure, Ray Grant. Your hearing it first. This song comes straight from the heart, with a great Bluesy Jazz sax line that paints the heat and sweat of this great city. From Ray Grant, the worldwide debut of Crying for Chicago.
