About the band

The Class of '68 began in 2002 as the Bob Ross Tribute Band to celebrate a birthday for one of Steve Wild’s closest friends. In the process, Steve met Woody Johnson, who volunteered to sing with a guy who hadn’t played in thirty years! The event re-kindled a love affair with 1960’s music in both and gave birth to the Class of ’68, a band dedicated to the “Golden Age of Top 40.” With the addition of other’s who share the passion, the band is one of the few whose members actually played 1960's rock and roll in the 1960's at some of the Chicago areas most popular venues including the Cellar, the Green Gorilla and the Pink Panther.
