Kankakeeland's Very Own Silhouettes ~ “Classic Rock and More”

From two crooners participating in a charity fund raiser in 1982 called Madcaps at Bishop Mc Namara High School  the wildly popular
“Kankakeeland's Very Own "The Silhouettes” were formed, growing to seven members whose focus would be the songs, and more importantly,
the Spirit of 50's-60's-70's and more Rock and Roll.
 
With the repertoire quickly expanding to include favorites spanning several decades of popular music, the theme of the band became to perform
“any song that generates a good feeling or has a strong dance beat.”

 Celebrating 30 years in 2012, The Silhouettes' lineup includes Jerry Downs (Lead Vocalist), Rich LeDuke (Lead Vocalist), Greg Bigler (Bass Guitarist), Dave Leppert (Lead Guitarist), Jason Haden(Drums), Steve Wunder (Saxophone/Keyboardist),  all of whom are also vocalists and love to entertain an audience.
