May 10, 2025 – Brass Transit (Chicago tribute)

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?

A: Brass Transit – a dynamic, crowd-pleasing, studio-tight powerhouse, and the world’s foremost Chicago tribute! An indication of the band’s authenticity and high-level musicianship: Chicago’s current ranks already include one longtime veteran of Brass Transit!

Brass Transit was formed in 2008, its accomplished, award- winning roster intent on paying tribute to the decades-long, multiplatinum songbook of Chicago.

 

June 7, 2025 – Motown Mania

More than a record label, “MOTOWN” became a style and a legend that forever changed the history of music. Emerging from the passion of millions of fans that were touched by this music, is the tribute band Motown Mania.

This act brings back the greatest hits from the likes of Diana Ross & The Supremes, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, The Commodores, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Aretha Franklin, The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, the Jackson 5, James Brown, and more incredible artists that blossomed during the Soul and R&B movement of the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s.

Aug 9, 2025 – The Soul Brothers (Blues Brothers tribute)

The Soul Brothers is an explosive, funny and entertaining tribute to The Blues Brothers with music, action & comedy. This amazing act covers Jake & Elwood’s classic blues songs and more while appearing to be the original brothers live on stage!

Chris and Geoff Dahl, both wearing black suits, black hats and black sunglasses are on a mission from God as the reincarnation of cult figures Jake and Elwood. Two Canadians, and brothers in real life too, present a slick show with all the smash hits such as “Everybody Needs Somebody” or “Sweet Home Chicago”, comedy sketches and plenty of action!

Sept 13, 2025 – Fleetwood Mac Manic (Fleetwood Mac tribute)

FLEETWOOD MAC MANIA is a stunning visual and musical tribute to Fleetwood Mac.

Each veteran player in this tribute band brings their spirit to re-create, with incredible accuracy, the look and feel of Fleetwood Mac. With the solo hits of Stevie Nicks as part of the show, the harmonies, instrumentation and on-stage chemistry has surprised and captivated audiences from coast-to-coast.
