The Chicago Experience is just as it sounds - a group of musicians who call Chicago home, and who share a love for the music of one of the greatest rock n' roll bands of all time... Chicago. Together, the band recreates the sound and feel of Chicago's music, whose hit songs have touched generations of fans spanning several decades. The Chicago Experience invites you to relive memories of the music that captured everyone’s hearts! From the early hits off Chicago Transit Authority’s 1968 self-titled album, such as “Beginnings” and “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?", through the 1980s, with Chicago’s hits “Hard To Say I’m Sorry” and “You’re The Inspiration", you will share in the joy these songs bring.
"I would like to thank you for an outstanding performance of The Chicago Experience for one of our recent corporate events. I was very proud to present your wonderful Chicago tribute band to a very knowledgeable client, who has been in our industry over the years. Everyone was thoroughly entertained, and they so appreciated the authentic presentation of everyone's classic hits from this legendary band. The arrangements are perfect, and all the vocalists sound so much like the original members, that it really feels like you are watching the actual band "Chicago".
Best regards, Dan Hays, Prism Entertainment LTD
