CHICAGO TRANSIT was born in the mid 1990’s with the addition of a keyboard player to the band POWERHOUSE and a couple of Chicago tunes added to the repertoire.
With the band’s instrumentation and vocal abilities, these seemed like a ‘natural’ for the band to do. These went over so well that it was decided that the band would do an entire Chicago Transit tribute show – the first of its type anywhere. With the band’s multi-lead vocalists, four-piece horn section, impressive horn arrangements and the ability of most band members to play secondary instruments, they managed to create an entire Chicago Transit tribute show – all live without the aid of any additional trax.
Going strong almost 30 years later!
This ‘wall of sound’ backs Doug Varty as a Rod Steward Tribute band – FOREVER YOUNG
and the CHICAGO TRANSIT HORN SECTION also lends itself to other tribute bands.
