Kickapoo Junction

Rolling down the line from Peoria way comes a central Illinois standard-bearer of modern country with a promise of “going full throttle to bring their high-energy, rockin’ country show to a venue near you” – and that’s just what they’re doing. Bandmates Denny Myers (bass), Robin Walls (lead, rhythm guitar), Bobby Gregory (drums), David Byard (lead vocals) and Sarah Byard (lead vocals) bring a generational matchup of seasoned and experienced musicians to a pair of vibrant, talented, young lead vocalists, creating an undeniable combination. Sponsored by Bud Light, the band is booked nearly every Saturday and most Fridays throughout the summer and into the fall at saloons, steamboats, festivals, fairs, wineries and bars all across central Illinois and in and around the Peoria area. Covering just about every big name in contemporary country with enough Southern rock classics thrown in to make a balanced song set list appealing to any and all comers, the real key to success of this combo comes in the extreme talents of the musicians and singers.
