Crazy Train is the ultimate touring Ozzy Osbourne Tribute show, hosted by Vinny Cormier, the best Ozzy impersonator you can get, and supported by a Berklee-level crew, including his son Dylan on guitar. Crazy Train delivers a captivating show, musically and visually, unlike any other tribute. The show is packed with special effects and "wow" moments you won't forget! Crazy Train plays every show like it is LIVE AND LOUD 1993! Crazy Train rolls over all of the Prince of Darkness' noteworthy hits anywhere from Sabbath to Patient #9.

Vinny Cormier's performance as Ozzy is simply a must-see for reasons that go beyond the visuals. Yes, he looks eerily similar to the great man, and he's mastered all of the mannerisms, but his greatest weapon is his voice. With this band, Cormier sings and performs like Osbourne at the peak of his power.

Guitarist Dylan Cormier, one of New England's most technically proficient axe-men, makes it look effortless as he attacks material from every era of Ozzy's career with extraordinary accuracy, confidence, and panache.

Bassist Mike Knowles and drummer Mike "Randy" Caliandro make for an explosive rhythm section that powers crazy train with lethal precision. Their dedication to keeping it in the pocket while instilling the music with an unpredictable edge put this show over the top.

Come enjoy beautiful Lake Argyle while taking a relaxing morning pontoon boat ride on the lake as we watch for wildlife. Life jackets, binoculars, and field guides will be available, or you’re welcome to bring your own.
**Pre-registration is required, and space is limited to 6 participants. ** 
Please email Bridget.Hinchee@illinois.gov or call (309) 776-3422 for more information or to register.
