SUMMARY:Brass Transit: The Musical Legacy of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Q: What happens when eight in-demand musicians and singers gather together out of a common love for one of the most successful pop/rock groups of all time? \nA: Brass Transit – a dynamic\, crowd-pleasing\, studio-tight powerhouse\, and the world’s foremost Chicago tribute show! \n\nBrass Transit was formed in 2008\, its accomplished\, award- winning roster intent on paying tribute to the decades-long\, multiplatinum songbook of Chicago. \nSince 2008\, Brass Transit has toured North America steadily\, dazzling audiences with  flawless performances and spectacular attention to detail. Hits like\, Saturday In The Park\, 25 or 6 To 4\, If You Leave Me Now\, Feelin’ Stronger Every Day and You’re The Inspiration have left crowds in awe\, inspiring multiple standing ovations and comments like: “Spine-Tingling!” “Brought me back to my youth!” and “Perfect in every detail!” \nBrass Transit goes far beyond just replicating the songs; they embody the music. They recently produced their first (self-titled) album\, taking songs by other top rock artists from the seventies and recording them with horns in the Chicago style. The result is a fresh approach to some of the greatest hits of the era. \nBrass Transit will bring you back to the most memorable times of your life. Get ready to sing along!
