Larry Reeb
Reeb is a strong, distinct, classic character, with sarcastic attitude and a sardonic wit. He conveys his concepts with rapid fire one liners. “It’s a sick world and I’m a happy guy,” Reeb proudly announces after stating his particularly twisted observations. Reeb didn’t invent obscene phone calls or adultery, but he makes his living talking about them. In a perfect world, Uncle Lar’ would be unemployed. Where others cringe, Reeb thrives. His sharp wit was custom built to handle hecklers. Uncle Lar’ is a regular on “The Bob & Tom Show”, syndicated in over 100 markets. He has been voted Chicago Comedian of the Year and has made numerous television and radio appearances. His tips are tops. his inflections infectious. And the fans are fanatics. Reeb’s cult-like clan can’t get enough. Whether he’s headlining comedy clubs, colleges or conventions, his wit is universally appealing. Relatively speaking, everyone travels from everywhere to see their Uncle Lar’.
The Neverly Brothers
The Neverly Brothers are not an “oldies cover band,” nor are they a tribute act. They are a very unique and exciting retro-sonic concept…AND ABOVE ALL THEY ARE TRUE ENTERTAINERS! Their enthusiastic live performances will transport you back in time to experience the evolution of rock n’ roll from its 1950s American Rockabilly roots to the 1960s British Invasion. In their past Raue Center concerts, their song sequence & selection, accompanied by narrative historical footnotes, illustrate how the music and energy of the American Rock n’ Roll pioneers set the stage for the young bands of the British Invasion. However, in this rare and intimate Raue NYE party setting, The Neverly Brothers will turn up the heat with a full-blown 50s/60s Rock n’ Roll Dance party that is guaranteed to keep the dance floor cooking all night long! Their repertoire consists of show-stopping renditions of early hits by Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Dave Clark Five, The Kinks and many other artists who shaped rock n’ roll from 1955 through 1965.
