There are a lot of bands doing a tribute to the band Chicago, but back in the early
90’s, when Powerhouse decided to put together their Chicago Transit tribute act,
they were the first in the world to do so. And they remain today as THE FIRST
AND LONGEST RUNNING CHICAGO TRIBUTE BAND IN THE WORLD and the only
one to carry five lead vocalists, just as the band Chicago does.
The bands' 5 lead singers, the 3-piece horn section and the 4 piece
rhythm section, made this show a natural for the band, even getting
credit from the band Chicago themselves, back in the 90’s.
In thirty years, the band, based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada has
performed their show at Festivals, Theatres, Casinos and various
other venues from as far east as the Gatineau Hills in Quebec, south to
Florida, USA and the US Midwest – including Chicago, Illinois, itself.
The band, with its three piece horn section, four piece rhythm section and
five lead vocalists is able to cover all the Chicago material from the early
horn-dominant classics like ‘Make Me Smile’, ’25 or 6 to 4’ and ‘Saturday in the
Park’ to the later, softer, keyboard-oriented ballads like ‘If You Leave Me
Now’ and 'Hard to Say I'm Sorry'.
If you like Chicago, you’ll love Chicago Transit!
