{"title":"The Bodeans","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe BoDeans are an American rock band formed in 1983 in Waukesha, Wisconsin by high school friends Sam Llanas and Kurt Neumann. Known for their roots-rock style and rich, harmonizing vocals, the band gained popularity in the 1980s and 1990s with hits like \"Closer to Free,\" which later became the theme song for the television show \"Party of Five.\" The BoDeans' sound, often described as heartland rock, draws on a wide range of influences, including folk, country, and blues. Their significant impact is felt in the Midwestern rock genre, and they are widely recognized for their distinctive blend of compelling lyrics and melodic soundscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"closer-to-free-1","title":"Closer To Free","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis was the group's only chart single, about a decade after their terrific debut releases.
