Here's what others are saying...
Incredible ... a MUST SEE act if you get the chance this summer. (We posted a link to their itinerary on yesterday's page ... scroll back to see where these guys are playing this summer ... we'll probably see you at one of their shows!) They have TOTALLY nailed the Chicago sound ... killer lead vocals by Brian Hemstock and Adam Briel ... scorching guitar by Ron Brandt ... and a horn section that rivals Chicago's very own. How great were they? The night of this performance I turned to my wife and said "I have NEVER seen Chicago perform "Dialogue" as well as these guys just did here tonight." And I mean that ... and I've seen Chicago live at least a dozen times. Absolutely amazing.

The Chicago Experience will be returning to Burr Ridge’s Concerts on the Green for 2016 for their third appearance! Never in the 7 year history of these concerts, have so many people applauded, standing ovation, and on and on for a concert performance like they did for The Chicago Experience. Sitting with me at the concert was a frequent concert goer gentlemen and fan of the original Chicago band who stated “if I wasn’t witnessing this, I would swear it was Chicago!” Kudos to Steve and Ron for a concert to remember.

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,
