Grand Parade formed in October 1997 as a tribute to the early music (70s) of the progressive rock giants, Genesis. Grand Parade began booking shows at Chicago-area clubs in 1999.


Over the next few years, the band developed a play list of more than 8 hours of Genesis material while building a dedicated following of progressive rock fans from around the Chicago - Milwaukee area and greater Midwest.

Today, thanks to the band's ongoing commitment to accurate musical arrangements, excellent musicianship, and exciting stage presentations.
The band's dedicated following continues to grow.
In the fall of 2008 it is rumored the band will preform the Foxtrot tour!

Hi everyone - here's a reminder about Shank Hall in Milwaukee on June 21st.

Also, I've been told there's a pretty good chance a famous Genesis-related guitarist may be in the audience in Milwaukee that night. No promises, but I heard a definite maybe. I bet you can figure out who that guitarist might be...

See everyone there!

Hey Mike! I see you posted our new video of Can-Utility. Thanks! I hope everyone enjoys it. We're filming our upcoming show at Shank Hall in Milwaukee on June 21st and then we're hoping to post some higher quality videos over the summer.

- Jeff

Hi everyone! First and foremost, Grand Parade would like to thank everyone who came out to Mickey Finn's on Saturday night. We saw several new faces in the crowd along with many old friends we haven't seen for quite a while, so welcome to all the new comers and thanks to everyone who came out to support the band! It was great to see everyone have such a great night together sharing the Genesis music we all love.

As I'm sure some of you noticed, there was a guy running around with a video camera on Saturday night. That was Mel Levy, from Breeze Productions. Along with the Mickey Finn's show, Mel will be filming our upcoming show at Shank Hall in Milwaukee on June 21st. For Shank Hall - our final show until the fall - we're excited to announce that we will be using our new enhanced visual production! So come join us in Milwaukee for what we hope will be a very special show!
After Shank Hall, the band will be heading back into rehearsals for the fall shows, which will include many of the song requests we've been getting from you. We'll wait for a while to let you know about the new songs (that's half the fun, isn't it?), but fans of the "really old songs" and some of the rarely or never played later 70's songs won't want to miss it!
Thanks again everyone! Your support keeps us going! See everyone on June 21st at Shank Hall in Milwaukee!
Thanks Grand Parade

Thanks for the invitation! I will have to try to get the time off to attend. It will be a perfect break from the desert heat. Hope to see everyone there. I thought I was just a small part of the still classic GENESIS fans left until I found this site. They haven't played Vegas in Years I was hoping for a stop on the past tour, but I had to fly to east coast for shows in the beginning of the tour and fly to Ca. for the last few shows. The Grand Parade sounds like a place that I should attend the activites. Hope to see others that feel the way I do. Thanks again. Dave

Thanks for inviting me!

The Supper's Ready clip sounds really, really amazing. An extremely faithful to the original performance. Amazing!
