About Suburban Folk

About

The Story
Suburban Folk is a pop-rock band that performs periodically in local venues of the far western suburbs of Chicago. This group was originally formed in 2003 as a small family-oriented acoustic-based project by brothers Dave and Brian Tedeschi. Today, Suburban Folk has been 'electrified' and is a full electric band consisting of nine core members that includes brothers, sisters, daughters, and some old friends...along with a few new friends too.

To enhance the live experience, different guest members also perform with the group from time to time, including several talented local singer-songwriters. "We wanted to form a group that somehow included all of the talented friends we had met over the past thirty years", Brian explains. "But of course that was not possible because the band would be too big."

The seed idea of a core group with invited guests was all he needed to spark the development of what ultimately has become Suburban Folk. 
"The real upside of our special guest performers is that it's a lot of fun for both the band and the audience too!"

The Name
It comes as no surprise to those who have heard this band that Suburban Folk is not a Folk group at all as the name may suggest. This band is simply a group of ordinary suburban folks that enjoy having fun making music and performing together while simultaneously escaping from the often hectic pace of daily life.

The People
Today Suburban Folk consists of nine core members and several guest performers.
