About the Show

The Number One Selling Music Duo In History, Daryl Hall & John Oates, have just announced a summer tour and will be performing for one-night-only at The Chicago Theatre on Friday, July 23.

Starting out as two devoted disciples of earlier soul greats, Daryl Hall & John Oates are soul survivors in their own right. They have become such musical influences on some of today's popular artists that the September 2006 cover of Spin Magazine's read: "Why Hall and Oates are the New Velvet Underground." Their artistic fan base includes Rob Thomas, John Mayer, Brandon Flowers of the Killers, Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie and MTV's newest hipsters Gym Class Heroes who dubbed their tour "Daryl Hall for President Tour 2007." One of the most sampled artists today, their impact can be heard everywhere from boy band harmonies, to neo-soul to rap-rock fusion.

Recently, Daryl Hall & John Oates released their first box set, Do What You Want, Be What You Are: The Music of Daryl Hall & John Oates. The box set marks the first comprehensive multi-CD, multi-label deluxe box set compilation ever assembled from their entire career's work, four CDs containing 74 tracks (16 of them previously unreleased) and featuring an astounding number of hit songs including "She's Gone," "Sara Smile," "Rich Girl," "How Does It Feel to Be Back," "Kiss On My List," "Private Eyes," "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" and "Maneater."
