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 longest running Chicago tribute band and the only
one to carry four lead vocalists, just as the band Chicago does.

The bands’ 5 singers, 4 of which are lead singers, the 3-piece horn section and the 5 piece
rythym 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 to the USA Midwest – including Chicago, Illinois, itself.
The band, with its 3 piece horn section, five piece rythymn section and four 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’.
If you like Chicago, you’ll love Chicago Transit!
