Sipos & Young Deliver Fire and Substance

The virtuoso guitar capabilities of Chris Sipos provide superb tempo and temperament for every intricately arranged offering in the pair’s songbook. The prodigiously accomplished multi-instrumentalist has been a working musician all his adult life and the fulcrum of every group he’s ever joined. A one-man band in this setting, he fills the spaces around and between vocals with blistering solos, beguiling hooks and intricate fills that add dimension and scope to every number.

Classically trained Rachel’s celestial singing style offers the perfect vehicle for the duo’s penchant toward music that shines a light on life’s ever-changing spectrum of emotions.

“A vibrant downtown is essential for a community to thrive,” remarked Kenosha Mayor Keith Bosman. “Kenosha is dedicated to revitalizing its Downtown Area and is excited to build on the momentum that has been established. Kenosha has a beautiful and accessible lakefront, a strategic location, three institutions of higher learning and many other advantages that give it tremendous potential. The City of Kenosha is extremely pleased to be named a Main Street community. ”
