Dayton Philharmonic - The Music of Chicago
Formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois, the rock band Chicago started life with a political musical agenda. Every now and then the group would take an experimental shot at the music they created, going so far even as to describe themselves as a "rock and roll band with horns." With time, their musical style softened, and they produced several hit ballads, followed by two decades in which the hits just kept on coming, making them the leading U.S. singles charting group during the 1970s and placing them second only to The Beach Boys among American bands in successful Billboard singles and albums, with 21 top-ten singles and five number-one albums.
Brass Transit is a dynamic, crowd-pleasing, studio-tight Chicago tribute band with a show that includes all the hits from Chicago's golden age: "25 or 6 to 4," "Another Rainy Day in New York City," "Beginnings," "Call On Me," "Color My World," "Dialogue," "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" "Feelin' Stronger Every Day," "Free," "Hard Habit to Break," "Hard to Say I'm Sorry," "I'm a Man," "(I've Been) Searchin' So Long," "Just You 'n' Me," "Lowdown," "Make Me Smile," "Movin' In," "Old Days," "Questions 67 & 68," "Saturday in the Park," "The Approaching Storm," "Wake Up Sunshine," "Wishing You Were Here," and "You're the Inspiration."
Come spend an evening with Brass Transit as their world-class horn section, rocking rhythm section, and superb vocal talent transport you to the freewheeling days of the 1970s and the era-defining music of Chicago.
