About the Artists

Every band member of The Real Time has some background/current role in theatre. We took our theatrical training and blended it with our music backgrounds to create a lively sound coming from a lively bunch. Inspired by artists such as Lake Street Dive, Sammy Rae & The Friends and Lawrence, we have found our niche genre.

We have performed all over the Chicagoland area at venues such as The Cubby Bear, American Blues Theatre, Golden Dagger, Burlington Bar, Up in Smoke fest and more!
