Chicago—The Band will be at the Canton Palace Theatre soon to entertain long-time fans and make new ones. Chicago did indeed form in that city in 1967, first calling themselves the Chicago Transit Authority. The group describes itself as blending horns with rock and roll, along with elements of pop, rhythm and blues, jazz, and classical music. At one time, in 1974, all seven of Chicago's albums—the entire number they had released up to that time—were on the Billboard 200 at the same time.
The band has been touring, playing concerts, and releasing records for more than 45 years, and it is said that there has never been a time when their music was not being played on radio stations somewhere. Their hits include “Baby What a Big Surprise,” and their sales of albums top 100 million worldwide. In 1971, Chicago sold out a week of concerts at Carnegie Hall, the first rock outfit to do so.
Chicago, however, does not rest on past accomplishments. The band continues to record new material, both albums and singles, regularly.
A review says:
“The guys were top notch and on it. The show was great all the way through.”
Chicago will appear at 8:00 pm on August 9 at the Canton Palace Theatre. Tickets are already on sale and will go quickly. Poster printing is often used to create publicity for this type of event.
