The Classix formed in late 2007 from two local groups in the Rockford, IL. area; Toad Soup and Tabby & Company.

The group’s members include:
Vito Mulae (Keyboards/vocals/Guitar)
Bob Marchione (Lead Guitar/vocals)
Joel DeLuna (Percussion/Vocals
Bryan Marchione (Guitar/Keyboards/vocals)
Jim Bove (Bass Guitar)

These men thought that Rockford needed a new sound from an "Oldies" band, something that featured strong three part harmony to go along with classic songs. That catalyst started The Classix band; the group performs songs from the last 50 years of Rock n Roll, from such artists as The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Guess Who, Three Dog Night, Journey, Chuck Berry, Monkees, Eric Clapton, Dion and the Belmont’s, Grand Funk Railroad, Carlos Santana and many, many more. It’s not that their selection of artists differs a great deal from other groups out there, but the song choices and their harmonies will set them apart from all the rest. The Classix play local clubs around Northern Illinois as well as summer festivals and private parties.
