History
The Freddy Jones band was formed in the late 1980s by Wayne Healy, a Marquette University dropout, and Marty Lloyd, a Loyola University Chicago dropout. [ They self-released their first album, which was later repackaged and released on Capricorn Records in 1994 after scoring a local radio hit with "In a Daydream". They continued to build a fanbase both in the Midwest US and nationwide through tours of colleges.][ Several albums on Capricorn followed, and 1995's North Ave. Wake-Up Call
and 1997's Lucid
both attracted some radio airplay (with the songs "Waitress" and "Mystic Buzz") as well as cracking the upper echelons of the Billboard charts. In 1998, bassist Jim Bonaccorsi and guitar/vocalist Rob Bonaccorsi left the band and were replaced with bassist Mark Murphy. [2] The band went on hiatus in 2001 but returned in 2006, doing shows in Chicago, Milwaukee and other Midwestern cities. [3]
