After School Special band is all about teachers. We started playing together in the 1990's to entertain our students at school functions like “Showcase”, the student talent show, and “Odyssey”, the all-school festival of the arts. We played private parties and donated our services to organizations operating fundraisers like Matt's Mile in Prairie Crossing and St. Gilbert's church in Grayslake. We keep that as an operating philosophy to this day. If you have an organization that needs a band, but you don't have a ton of cash to pay for that band, we can step in. Right around the time Jeremy joined the band we started looking to play out in the real world. Our first bar gig was at Mickey Finn's in Libertyville. I credit Brian Grano for taking a chance on us. It was the push we needed to get into regular gigs.
