Centerfold delivers the music you remember and reminds you of a time when Rock and Roll wasn't just music, it was the soundtrack of our lives.

Cindy Safran, Lead Vocals

Centerfold’s return to the Chicago music scene was changed forever the night Cindy stepped out of the audience to sing with the band. Cindy’s powerful vocal talents cover the spectrum of Rock, Blues, Motown and Country, including songs by Heart, Benatar, Journey, Aretha, Pink and Carrie, to mention a few. Cindy’s vocals and stage presence draws in the audience's attention, and keeps them wanting more.

Mark Wedow, Guitar, keyboards and Vocals

As one of the original founding members of Centerfold, Mark’s talents on guitar and vocals go hand in hand with his entertainment skills. He's known to wander offstage into the audience at any given time to engage the crowds, as he grinds out solos from the band’s song list of favorites we all enjoy.

Kevin Barry, Lead Guitar, and Vocals

When it comes to playing hot, smoking guitar leads, Kevin makes us keep a fire extinguisher on hand, just in case. He comes to us with past playing experience in Voyage, Mercury Rising and Back Stage Pass, and opening up for the likes of BTO, Queensryche, and Foghat.

Eric Wedow, Drums, keyboards and Vocals

Centerfold’s one and only drummer and founding member, provides the band’s rock steady beat, and literally sits in the driver’s seat that keeps the audience rocking to their favorite songs. Known to band members as the human metronome, Eric also lends his perfect pitch talents into building Centerfold’s live vocal harmonies.

Chuck Federowicz, Bass and Vocals

Chuck provides the bottom half of Centerfold’s rhythm section. Also being an original member, Chuck and Eric have worked together long enough to pretty much know what each other will be doing, as they look to play off one another to keep the beat driving in the pocket, or as the band has coined, “keep that freight train running."
