Duet couple Phil &<br />
Amy celebrate 25 years<br />
Recording artists Phil & Amy are to be<br />
featured entertainers at Christmas dine<br />
and matinee performances scheduled for<br />
Tuesday, Nov. 28, at White Fence Farm<br />
and Wednesday, Dec. 6, at Starved Rock<br />
Lodge.<br />
Starved Rock Lodge also is to feature<br />
its “Strolling Down Broadway” show<br />
Aug. 6, 7 and 8, for those who were not<br />
able to get reservations for their November<br />
and December shows.<br />
The popular husband-and-wife duo<br />
have appeared throughout the Chicago<br />
area over the years, and recently rereleased<br />
their 25th anniversary edition<br />
“Opening Night” Andrew Lloyd Webber<br />
selection album via CDs, downloads and<br />
streams. Looking back, the album’s success<br />
was enhanced thanks to many appearances<br />
with the Franz Benteler Royal<br />
Strings Orchestra.<br />
It is almost hard to believe Phil & Amy<br />
just celebrated 25 years of marriage,<br />
capped by an unexpected surprise party<br />
feast at Drury Lane-Oakbrook, concocted<br />
by their three children, family and friends.<br />
This couple has been hosting travel<br />
tours for almost 25 years as well — motorcoach<br />
travel trips to destinations near<br />
and far. With each trip, the “family” of<br />
followers continues to grow.<br />
Phil & Amy adopted the name of St.<br />
Christopher Tours, invoking the blessing<br />
of the patron saint of travelers.<br />
Their motto is, “Like family, we visit<br />
authentic America.” Instead of piling into<br />
a family vehicle, customers board a deluxe<br />
motorcoach for a one- or multi-day<br />
excursion to a fabulous destination.<br />
Phil & Amy trips are so well-planned<br />
for comfort and enjoyment that it is like<br />
being a child again, when mom and dad<br />
took care of all the details carefree — just<br />
went along for the fun.<br />
Interesting parties can call now to inquire<br />
about trips to Yellowstone in June<br />
2018; Mackinac Island in June 2018;<br />
Frankenmuth, Michigan, in Oct. 2018; or<br />
Cape Cod in June 2019; to name a few.<br />
People also can get a more detailed<br />
view of upcoming performances and<br />
shows, theatre (“Hamilton” has been one<br />
of their motorcoach group’s hottest tickets)<br />
and single-/multi-day tours.<br />

and laugh with our regulars<br />
when they walk in the<br />
door, really make them<br />
feel welcome.<br />
“We have some regulars<br />
that come here so often,<br />
as soon as they walk in<br />
the door I’m already calling<br />
their order out to the<br />
kitchen before the customer<br />
even makes it up to the<br />
counter.”<br />
And it’s not just the customers<br />
that are loyal.<br />
“Most of our employees<br />
have been here a long<br />
time, so we can really<br />
keep up the consistency,”<br />
Matyas said. “I have one<br />
employee that’s been with<br />
the Pop’s franchise for 20<br />
years, and another one<br />
that’s been with me since<br />
Day 1 in Tinley Park.”<br />
