Long known as one of the best live acts in the business, BoDeans continue to tour year round and deliver amazing, high energy, performances. "I realized some time ago that the key to the BoDeans identity is the fans' connection to our music. Nowhere is that more evident or rewarding as when we come together live. We love to connect with fans who have supported us for so long and brought us so much inspiration," said Kurt Neumann, the band's founder and front man. "We will continue to play as long as they continue to come out and sing along."

Chart topping songs like "Fadeaway," "Only Love" and "Dreams" won them Rolling Stone's readers’ poll for “Best New American Band,” in 1987. They were part of a small contingent of bands that inspired a new radio format known as Adult Alternative Album Rock (Triple A). Their reputation for delivering dynamic live shows garnered support slots with U2, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Tom Petty, George Thorogood, The Pretenders, David Bowie, and appearances at Farm Aid, Summerfest, Austin City Limits and many more.

In the more than twenty years that followed the release of “Love & Sex & Hope & Dreams,” the band released several albums containing songs played heavily at radio, on TV shows and movies, and defined a sound that a generation embraced—songs like "Good Things," "You Don't Get Much," "Idaho," "If It Makes You," "Closer to Free," "Stay," "American," and, "All the World," which was recently featured on CMT.

BoDeans now reside in that small group of bands that have managed to survive the ups and downs of the music industry, remaining true to their sound and style for nearly 30 years. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum has them permanently displayed as part of their Midwest Artists exhibit.
