About this concert
Legendary band & Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Chicago returns to The BayCare Sound!
Hailed as one of the "most important bands in music since the dawn of the rock and roll era,” the legendary rock and roll band with horns, Chicago, came in as the highest charting American band in Billboard Magazine's Top 125 Artists Of All Time. Chicago is the first American rock band to chart Top 40 albums in six consecutive decades. These legendary songwriters wrote mega-hits such as, "25 or 6 to 4", "Saturday In The Park", "Feelin' Stronger Every Day", "Make Me Smile" and many others.
Chicago’s lifetime achievements include multiple GRAMMY® Awards, two American Music Awards, Founding Artists of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a Chicago street dedicated in their honor, and keys to and proclamations from an impressive list of U.S. cities. Record sales top the 100,000,000 mark, and include 21 Top 10 singles, 5 consecutive Number One albums, 11 Number One singles and 5 Gold singles. An incredible 25 of their 38 albums have been certified platinum, and the
band has a total of 48 gold and platinum awards.
Chicago have toured every year since the beginning - they’ve never missed a year. The original three band members are Robert Lamm on keyboards and vocals, Lee Loughnane on trumpet and vocals and James Pankow on trombone. The band line-up also includes Wally Reyes, Jr. on drums, Tony Obrohta on guitar, Loren Gold on keyboards and vocals, Ray Herrmann on sax and flute, Neil Donell on vocals, Eric Baines on bass and Ramon "Ray" Yslas on percussion. From the signature sound of the Chicago horns, their iconic Vocalists, and a
few dozen of ever-Classic Songs, this band’s concerts are celebrations. 2024 marks the band’s 57th consecutive year of touring. Chicago continue to be true ambassadors for their beloved hometown, carrying the city's name with pride and dignity around the world.

Chicago Biography
In 1967 a group of young musical virtuosos gathered in a Chicago basement with aspirations of becoming a "Rock & Roll band with horns." To themselves and each other, they made a commitment to write, practice and perfect their own music from that day forward. From humble beginnings playing small clubs across the Midwest as The Big Thing, to sell-out crowds all over the world, the band that would eventually call themselves Chicago blasted onto the music scene with a groundbreaking sound fueled by band members’ diverse styles and musical backgrounds, and complex horn arrangements that were an integral part of their songs.
Chicago's prolific career has garnered numerous accolades, it came in as the highest charting American band in Billboard Magazine's Top 125 Artists Of All Time and is the first American band to ever chart albums in Billboard's Pop Top 40 in six consecutive decades. The group's extensive accomplishments include: two Grammy Awards® and a Lifetime Achievement Award from The Recording Academy, multiple American Music Awards, eleven Number One singles, five consecutive Number One albums, and record sales in excess of 100,000,000, including 49 gold and platinum award certifications. Chicago was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2016, and Chicago's first album, Chicago Transit Authority, was inducted into the GRAMMY® Hall Of Fame in 2014. In 2017, the Songwriters Hall of Fame inducted songwriters Robert Lamm and James Pankow, and in 2020 James Pankow was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award by the International Trombone Association.
Born to perform, Chicago holds the title for the longest consecutive touring band, never missing a touring season for 55 years. While the lineup has changed over the years, the music remains timeless. From the signature sound of the Chicago horns, their iconic Vocalists, and a few dozen of ever-Classic Songs, this band’s concerts are celebrations.
Chicago continue to be true ambassadors for their beloved hometown, carrying the city's name with pride and dignity around the world.
