‘Human Jukebox’ to play rock hits Aug. 4 at Hegeler Carus Mansion

Gerry Grossman combines comedy show with music

Comedy rock ‘n’ roll performer Gerry Grossman, known as “the Human Jukebox,” will perform on the lawn of Hegeler Carus Mansion in La Salle at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 4.

Grossman’s music repertoire includes thousands of hit songs from the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s, which he weaves around his comedy performance. Each show is tailored to audience involvement and music requests – the crowd can shout the name of a song for Grossman to incorporate into the show.

As the Human Jukebox, Grossman said he can play “the A-side of any rock ‘n’ roll single nationally released between 1955 and 1970.” He has impressed past audiences with his ability to play almost any song requested, according to a news release from Hegeler Carus Mansion.

Grossman has performed with a variety of show business legends, including John Denver, The Byrds, The Turtles, The Lovin’ Spoonful, Johnny Rivers, Tammy Wynette, Albert Brooks, Richard Lewis and The Temptations.
