Centerfold is a five member Classic Rock and Roll band based in the Chicago suburbs. Originally formed in 1979, they were part of the “Golden Age of Chicago Rock and Roll” when bands like Styx, Survivor, and Cheap Trick shook the town to the ground and ruled the mid-‐west. Without missing a beat, the band continues to perform those great hits from the 70s and 80s showing the younger generations what exactly made music from that era so great. Currently featuring the powerful lead vocals of Cindy Safran, Centerfold performs a wide variety of songs by female rock legends like Pat Benatar, Joan Jet, Aretha Franklin, Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart. Not to be outdone, Mark Wedow and Tom Kranz keep the train rolling with covers from Thin Lizzy, Tom Petty, Molly Hatchet, BTO, and Styx, to name a few. Centerfold is at home playing any size venue and a big crowd pleaser. They will have the whole place rockin by the end of the event. They come to crank out the tunes.

Cindy Safran Lead Vocals -‐ Centerfold’s return to the Chicago music scene was changed forever the night Cindy stepped out of the audience to sing with the band. Cindy’s powerful vocal talents cover the spectrum of Rock, Blues, Motown and Country, including songs by Heart, Benatar, Journey, Aretha, Pink and Carrie, to mention a few. Cindy’s vocals and stage presence draws in the audience's attention, and keeps them wanting more. Mark Wedow Guitars and Lead Vocals -‐ As one of the original founding members of Centerfold, Mark’s talents on guitar and vocals go hand in hand with his entertainment skills. He's known to wander offstage into the audience at any given time to engage the crowds, as he grinds out solos from the band’s song list of favorites we all enjoy. Eric Wedow Drums and Vocals -‐ Centerfold’s one and only drummer and founding member, provides the band’s rock steady beat, and literally sits in the driver’s seat that keeps the audience rocking to their favorite songs. Known to band members as the human metronome, Eric also lends his perfect pitch talents into building Centerfold’s live vocal harmonies. Tom Kranz Guitars, Keyboards and Lead Vocals -‐ Tom brings to Centerfold his past experience with the band "Trilogy", a north suburban favorite, that entertained audiences for years. Tom’s talent on guitar, keyboards and vocals has been a welcome addition in expanding the band’s musical boundaries, with a variety of material that will keep audiences guessing what’s next. Chuck Federowicz Bass and Vocals -‐ Chuck provides the bottom half of Centerfold’s rhythm section. Also being an original member, Chuck and Eric have worked together long enough to pretty much know what each other will be doing, as they look to play off one another to keep the beat driving in the pocket, or as the band has coined, “keep that freight train running."
