About
Meet AllNighter
We are four friends from Champaign-Urbana who came together to combine our many years of performing into crafting one of the most exciting and wide-ranging live shows the area has to offer. Our eclectic tastes run the gamut from country, to pop, soul, prog, 90s alternative, classic rock, even metal.
Therese - Bass/Vox
Therese grew up in Orland Park, IL. She has a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Illinois, where she played piccolo for the Marching Illini. Already a multi-instrumentalist,Therese picked up bass several years ago in order to audition for a pop-punk band where she met Jon. Therese's relentless work ethic shows in her musicianship. She loves The 1975, TikToks, reading. Green is her favorite color. She has a special place in her heart for Jim Croce and despises breakfast foods. Though a bit shy, she is nonetheless a very talented singer.
Jon - Vox/Rhythm
Jon grew up in Paxton, IL. He comes from a long line of gigging musicians; just about every man in his family plays music. Jon loves his three girls, the Green Bay Packers, Rick and Morty. He has a near death experience on an annual basis (ask him about it). Jon's deep passion for his craft is evident the moment he straps on a guitar..He lives to perform, and is also one of the most charmingly abrasive individuals you will ever meet. You will laugh and cringe at his seemingly endless repertoire of dad jokes, only to be inevitably stirred by his powerful voice.
Dan - Drums
Dan is a software engineer by day, a father of two, a purveyor of weird cheeses, and a great cook. He loves to tinker and always has an impressive list of projects. Dan cut his teeth playing hard rock and metal, and as a result he brings power and energy to AllNighter's sound. He can sometimes be seen sporting a very pointy mohawk. \m/
Mark - Lead
Mark is a simple guy. After belting a couple Ariana Grande hits in the shower, he likes to grab a bag of jalapeño chips and binge "90-Day Fiancé" while he practices arpeggios. At age 11, Mark snuck his sister’s guitar out of her room and started picking out notes with a nickel from the Hal Leondard guitar method book. His playing is a dizzying blend of country, jazz fusion, rock, soul, and metal. Mark’s favorite songs to play are “Neon Moon” and “Hicktown.” If you want to buy him a drink, his favorite shot is Bulleit bourbon and his favorite beer is Bell’s Two-Hearted.
