Those who have followed BoDeans’ remarkable 30-year musical career know that their blend of compelling songs and high energy performances have retained an unpretentious rock & roll loyal following like no other. Best known for their catchy single, “Closer To Free,” the band’s accessible adult alternative sound has led to many a milestone, including a Rolling Stone Reader’s Poll for Best New American Band in 1987. TV appearances on “Saturday Night Live,” “Letterman,” “Today,” and ESPN soon followed. Their music is also featured throughout the Netflix original series, “The Ranch.” The BoDeans defined a generation that embraced songs like “Good Things,” “You Don’t Get Much,” “Idaho,” “If It Makes You,” “Closer To Free,” “Stay,” and “All The World.” They have released 12 studio albums with ten records that hit the Billboard Top 200 Chart.
BoDeans now reside in a small group of bands that have managed to survive the ups and downs of the industry, remaining true to their sound and their style, for 30 years, and show no signs of slowing down. They have proved as energetic and determined as they did on day one.
