Closing Time
Springfield, Illinois, United States

Longtime friends and musicians Aaron Stanley and Robert Reynolds kicked around the idea of a cool 90s cover band for a few years until putting the notion into motion last summer. The pals agree they disagree on each other’s taste in music except when it comes to their formative years of the 1990s, “to the days of Seinfeld, Spice Girls, and the Seattle Sound.” With the addition of Jennifer Dowell on vocals and keyboards, Branden Powell on drums and Robert Lueken on guitar, the lineup was complete but the hard work of getting to know songs from the likes of Pearl Jam, Oasis and Alanis Morissette in addition to popular tunes of the day from boy bands, hip-hopsters and R&B singers on a note-for-note basis had just begun. Another aspect to the Closing Time concept as conceived by Reynolds and Stanley puts several TV screens randomly on stage showing iconic 90s news clips, music videos and other related events, adding a distinctly interesting facet to the cover band model. - Illinois Times

Longtime friends and musicians Robert and Aaron kicked around the idea of an all-90's cover band for a few years until putting the notion into motion last summer. The pals agree they disagree on each others' taste in music except when it comes to their formative years of the 1990s, “to the days of Seinfeld, Spice Girls, and the Seattle Sound.”
With the addition of Jennifer Dowell on vocals and keyboards, Branden Powell on drums, Aaron Eversole on guitars, and Sam Davis on keys and trumpet, the lineup was complete but the hard work of getting to know songs from the likes of Pearl Jam, Oasis and Alanis Morissette in addition to popular tunes of the day like N’Sync, Spice Girls, and Puff Daddy on a note-for-note basis had just begun.
Closing Time prides itself on providing a packed dance floor, an engaged audience, and unstoppable energy that makes your night one to remember forever. Since 2010, Closing Time has been building a reputation across Illinois as the band that delivers more than a show. From the powerful guitar solo in The Spin Doctor’s “Two Princes” to the shimmering harmonies of Hanson’s “MmmBop”, to the fast-paced high-energy delivery of Naughty By Nature’s “O.P.P.”, Closing Time delivers a unique concert experience among typical cover bands. With meticulous attention to every detail, Closing Time brings together music from all genres and features hits covering 10 years of awesome music. Close your eyes and you’ll swear you’re hearing the real thing.
