Summer Boom Boom Concert with Stevie B, Cynthia & Johnny O
Old School Music Legends Take the Stage at Joe’s Live Friday, July 29
JULY 13, 2016 – CHICAGO – Legendary freestyle/pop singer Stevie B celebrates dance music of the late ‘80s and ‘90s with the Summer Boom Boom concert and dance party event at Joe’s Live Rosemont (5441 Park Place) on Friday, July 29, 2106. Stevie B will perform his classic hits, including “Party Your Body,” “Spring Love,” “I Wanna Be The One” and his #1 Billboard Hot 100 smash, “Because I Love You”.
Fellow music alums Cynthia and Johnny O will kick off the night’s event. Referred to by many as “Freestyle’s Sweetheart”, Cynthia will perform her hits including “Change On Me,” “Endless Night” and “Thief of Hearts”. Johnny O will perform his classics, including “Fantasy Girl” and “Highways of Love.” But the real highlight will be when Cynthia and Johnny O unite on stage to perform the #1 Freestyle duet of all time, “Dream Boy Dream Girl!”
“I’m excited to be headlining at Summer Boom Boom,” says Stevie B. “This high energy show will bring every attendee closer to all of my hits from the many albums I’ve been blessed to have been a part of.” Stevie adds, “I’m also delighted to be reuniting with longtime fellow artists, Cynthia & Johnny O, to help make the night even more special!”
Hosted by Chicago’s own Tim ‘Spinnin’ Schommer, the night’s music ambience will be supported by multiple DJs including DJ Simone, I’m Buddah, Tony ‘Slammin’ Keas, JoJo & Gizep, Joe ‘Naw-T Boy’ Nardi, DJ Dino Cardone, ‘Amazing’ Angelo Pesce, and Schommer himself. The concert and dance party was specifically created to target the multitude of Gen-Xers who believe dance music of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s—often referred to as “old school” music—was the soundtrack to their lives!

About Stevie B
Singer, songwriter and producer Stevie B. was among the pioneers of the Miami dance music scene of the late ’80s, later reaching the top of the pop charts with mega-hit “Because I Love You (The Postman Song).” A native of South Florida, he worked a variety of dead-end jobs ranging from car-wash attendant to fast-food server before scoring his debut hit with 1987’s “Party Your Body,” a national club smash and the title track of his 1988 debut LP, which was certified gold by the RIAA (500,000+ sales). With 1988’s “In My Eyes,” Stevie B. launched his first Top 40 hit, “I Wanna Be the One”; along with its follow-up, “Love Me for Life,” also cracking the Top 40. With 1990’s “Because I Love You,” he reached the pinnacle of his success, reaching the #1 position on Billboard’s coveted Hot 100, with the single’s accompanying album, Love & Emotion, also generating a pair of Top 20 hits. New music from Stevie came with his 2009 single, “Running for Miles,” which became a club hit. It landed on his “comeback” album from that same year, The Terminator, which also featured a guest appearance from rapper Pitbull on “Spring Love.”
