Van Wailin "I'm the One" Live at Broken Oar: 6.16.26: Summer Started RIGHT HERE !
Thanks to everyone that came out Saturday to the Broken Oar as we brought in summer early with our pals Motley Two.
We had a packed house, guitar insanity, and enough singalongs to wake up Lake Zurich. By the end of the night the Broken Oar legally became Southern California. 🔥
If you missed it… your jean jacket lost all privileges. Next Stop: Jamos 6.6

🚨 BROKEN OAR MAY NEVER BE THE SAME 🚨
On Saturday, May 16th, the Broken Oar Kitchen & Bar turns into a full-blown sunburnt, beer-soaked, boat-party-from-hell ROCK SHOW…
🔥 VAN WAILIN (Chicago’s #1 Van Halen Experience)
💄 MOTLEY TWO (Chicago’s #1 Motley Crüe Experience)
are teaming up for a night so loud it’ll scare fish back into the water.
We’re talking:
🎸 Face-melting Van Halen riffs
🔥 Dirty, dangerous Motley Crüe chaos
🍺 Drinks flowing like Lake Barrington after a storm
🕺 Questionable dancing decisions by grown adults
This is the kind of night where:
Your voice is gone by song #3
You high-five strangers like you’ve known them since ‘87
And you wake up Sunday wondering why you smell like Aqua Net and bad decisions
📍 Broken Oar Kitchen & Bar – Port Barrington, IL
📅 Saturday, May 16, 2026
⏰ Show starts when the party starts (you’ll know)
⚠️ No refunds for blown minds, lost voices, or spontaneous air guitar competitions.

🚨 SIDEOUTS, IS THIS THING ON? 🚨
Van Wailin’ + Tom Sawyer (Rush tribute) are rolling into Sideouts and we’re bringing questionable decisions, unreasonable volume, and way too many guitar notes.
Friday, Jan 31 • 8PM • Island Lake
Expect face-melting solos, sing-along chaos, air-drumming injuries, and that moment where you look at your drink and go, “Yeah… I’m staying.”
This is Van Halen swagger meeting Rush brain-power, all crammed into one glorious night. Apologies to your voice tomorrow.
Featuring Van Wailin and Tom Sawyer.
Sideouts — we love you already. Your speakers may not. 🤘😈

Jan 31. Sideouts. Island Lake.

Van Wailin' + Tom Sawyer (Chicago’s #1 Rush Experience)
Two bands. One stage. Zero chill.

This show exists somewhere between:
• “That solo didn’t need to be that long”
• “Okay… that was actually insane”
• “Why does my neck already hurt?”

Van Wailin’ will play Van Halen loud enough to silence your internal dialogue.
Tom Sawyer will play Rush accurately enough to make you feel slightly underqualified.

No backing tracks.
Just amps, drums, beer, and extremely confident musicians.

You’re not too old for this.
You’re just sore faster now.

Friday. Jan 31. Sideouts.
Show up. Stay late. Pretend Saturday doesn’t exist.
