Chicago – Chicago Transit
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 5 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 twenty-five 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, five 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’.
