Now in its fourth year, Big Red and the Boys has already become an annual tradition for Chicagoans looking to escape the typical holiday drudgery. BIG RED — the one-of-a-kind vocalist Meghan Murphy — brings her own brand of holiday cheer to the stage backed by her boys: Patrick Andrews ( vocals, percussion ), Nick Davio ( vocals, cajon, bass, guitar ) and John Francisco ( vocals, guitar, bass ). BIG RED opens her living room to you, sharing holiday stories and humor, toasting the New Year and serenading the audience with song stylings from Irving Berlin standards to original works to some funked-up Destiny's Child. Big Red and the Boys is a celebration of chosen family during the holiday season: so grab a drink at the bar and get to know the people next to you at what's bound to become your new home for the holidays!
