| West 34 - This is our story, and we're stickin' to it! |
| West 34 is a high energy rock & pop project based in Brookfield, IL. Formed in November 2007, West 34 has performed near 140 shows in and around Chicago at various clubs, festivals and private events. Playing rock and blues covers since their inception by greats such as The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and John Mayall, West 34 has recently elevated their game and now incorporates original songs in the Pop and Rock genres into their set. The first 2 singles of original material, All I Want Is You and Politricks, are a collaborative effort by band leader Dave Johnson and lead singer/guitarist Tim Majewski and will be included on their forthcoming 5 song EP Road To Nowhere. West 34 recently played at Naperville's Ribfest in July 2011. |

From the Morris Daily Herald:
Taste of Greater Coal City:
“After the band started and after things
started cooling down, you could see a lot of
people coming back again,” Cora said. “The
band was awesome and the crowd was
really yelling and screaming for them."
As day gave way to evening and darkness
began to crawl in, Cora estimates that
approximately 200 people were there to see
the band.

From: www.centerstagechicago.com:
Taking its name from Illinois Route 34, West 34 Blue is a
spin-off of classic rock cover band, West 34. Led by
soulful strummer Dave "Big Wave" Johnson, West 34
sticks to a good five decades of everything from the
Beatles to Van Halen, while the ‘Blue’ incarnation sticks
with a more select crew, like Howlin’ Wolf and Eddie
Taylor. Either way it’s cheap, filthy, chase-it-with-a-shot of-
whiskey, nostalgic fun. Consider it playtime after the real
fire when Texas-bred guitarist Dave Herrerro and his big-
brass play drag-your-feet Motown numbers that will
either transport you to the still of some dock on some
bay, or tickle your feet with post-war sock hop.
