Description
The Walkens band is now doing double duty! Family and friends now dictate splitting their time between Chicago and Phoenix! We have been Voted "Best of the Valley" in Arizona Foothills Magazine for 2011 and 2012 and look forward to taking the Chicago area by storm!

The Walkens are quickly proving to be one of the hottest and most exciting bands in the area. The band's veteran lineup consists of former members of some of Arizona's most notable bands such as T.A.T.E., Zowie Bowie, The Scones, and Frank Lloyd Vinyl. The combination of their widely varied backgrounds and musicianship results in a collaboration that can entertain any crowd. Their setlist contains everything from the Beatles and Elvis Presley to John Mellencamp, Maroon 5, Cee Lo Green and Rage Against the Machine .
Over the years, the members of the band have shared the stage with such national acts as Brett Michaels, Daughtry, The Gin Blossoms, Men at Work, The Posies, Little Feat, Collective Soul and The Smithereens.
Because of the bands high energy, their ability to play any genre of music, and their professionalism, The Walkens are also highly sought after for corporate functions, weddings and private parties. The Phoenix Suns, The Arizona Diamondbacks, AT&T, Galmour Magazine, Marlboro, The American Cancer Association, Bar-S Foods and countless other national businesses are examples that the band has performed for in the past.
The Band's expansion into Chicago is a natural step as some of the members have family in the area and we have always enjoyed the incredible music scene!

Feedback
- The Walkens were incredible! As an event planner, I need to make my clients happy and mine were ecstatic. Excellent music selection and talent. I see why they are one of Arizona's hottest bands and quickly becoming on of Chicagoland's! Friendly & truly professional. This is a business for them, not a hobby and it shows. Highly recommend! -- Jacqueline W, Mokena, IL, 2/18/2012
