CHICAGO — Beer was flowing, the band was playing, people danced and in the audience sat a former governor of Illinois at a table with his wife, ready to rock ’n’ roll.
“I’m humbled to be asked to sing again with this band,” said Rod Blagojevich.
The band was The Drawers, a cover band that focuses on rock tunes from the past and some original material. Blagojevich has performed with this band before, for the first time at a private outdoor event shortly after his release from prison in 2020 and twice here at Martyrs’ music club.
