It’s My Party!
It’s My Party! is a high-energy tribute to the trailblazing women of pop, soul, and rock & roll. Starring The Lovettes, Chicago’s premier vocal trio—featured on The David Letterman Show and PBS’s Doo-Wop Generations—this harmony-filled show celebrates unforgettable hits from Connie Francis, The Ronettes, Dusty Springfield, The Supremes, and more. With stunning vocals, tight harmonies, and show-stopping choreography, The Lovettes bring these timeless classics to life, honoring the legends while adding their own unique style. The result is a retro celebration that keeps audiences smiling, singing, and moving from start to finish. It’s My Party! offers multiple configurations, including a 3-Lovette track show or a full 3–5 piece band. Based in Chicago, the group can provide travel and backline throughout the Midwest.
“It’s an honor to pass the torch on to the next Doo-wop generation, The Lovettes.”

Daryn Alexus
Daryn Alexus, a Washington, DC native now living in Chicago, has spent much of her life on the stage. Be it in theater productions, choral performances, or musicals, she was consistently involved in the arts. Using the last four years to focus solely on music and writing original material, Daryn bridges the gap between her love for Disco, Rock N Roll, Soul, RnB, and Pop music. With iconic inspirations like Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Beyoncé, and Lauren Hill {to name a few}, Daryn has managed to find her very own eclectic, fresh, and nostalgic sound in which she would describe as vintage. The soul pop singer released her first, in her words, “authentic body of work,” in August of 2014; a 13 track EP titled GREEN. Shortly after, she began to perform in historic venues and events all around Chicago and Washington, DC such as The Metro, Steppenwolf, Taste of Chicago, Howard Theater and many more. Since, Daryn has experienced much success having shared stages with artists like Kendrick Lamar and Biz Markie.
