Performing Thursday, Nov. 5 - Chicago Tribute Experience
Originally named “The Big Thing “The Chicago Transit Authority band formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. After their first album they change the name to simply “Chicago”. The self-described “rock and roll band with horns” began as a politically charged, sometimes experimental, rock band and later moved to a predominantly softer sound, generating several hit ballads. The group had a steady stream of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Since at least 2008, Billboard has shown Chicago to be the “greatest of all time” American band in singles chart success, and since 2015, the “greatest of all time” American band in album chart success as well. Chicago is one of the longest-running and most successful rock groups, and one of the world’s best-selling groups of all time, having sold more than 100 million records. According to Billboard, Chicago was the leading U.S. singles charting group during the 1970s. They have sold over 40 million units in the U.S., with 23 gold, 18 platinum, and 8 multi-platinum albums. Over the course of their
career they have had five number-one albums and 21 top-ten singles. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 8, 2016 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Original band members Peter Cetera, Robert Lamm, and James Pankow are among the 2017 Songwriters Hall of Fame inductees for their songwriting efforts as members of the music group, Chicago.
Now, Chicago Tribute Experience brings you back to the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s with all of Chicago’s greatest hits performed live by some of the world’s finest musicians. This tremendous tribute to the writing, performance, style and sound of the original Chicago lineup has been carefully and thoughtfully re-created for the highest entertainment value. Most of these musicians grew up listening, learning, and passionately playing and singing along to what is now truly a phenomenon worth recreating. Enjoy the journey as they take you on the “Experience” … the “Chicago Tribute Experience”.
The band consists of Gregg Thompson on guitar and vocals, Dan Hill on bass and vocals, Dan Haley on keyboards and vocals, Joey Leon on drums and percussion, Taylor Covery on trombone and vocals, Nic Chaffee on trumpet, percussion and vocals, Robbie Covacevich on saxophone, flute and percussion and Frank Troiano on percussion and vocals.
