WALHALLA, S.C. — The Chi-Town Transit Authority will perform a musical salute to the iconic band Chicago at 7:30 p.m. June 24 in the Walhalla Performing Arts Center, 101 East North Broad Street, here. 

Regarding the show, an event promotion stated, “Chi-Town Transit Authority is an eight-piece Chicago tribute band based out of Atlanta, Ga. 

“Established in 2017 and dedicated to reproducing the ‘Chicago’ concert experience. Chi-Town features a tight horn and woodwinds section, which are combined with dynamic vocals and harmonies to fill the stage with the spectacular sounds of the legendary band Chicago. 

“Chi-Town performs all of the familiar hits and famous songs covering over four decades of music. These songs are guaranteed to revive memories and bring down the house, commanding encores and standing ovations with every audience...

 â€œThe key to their success has been knitting together a highly accomplished team of long-time musicians who truly love the music of Chicago. With this foundation, they then pay close attention to detail in re-creating the best of Chicago’s songs from studio and live versions and then design a show that first captures the audience, then gets them involved and finally brings down the house. 

“It’s easy to do because the band is having as much  fun as the audience is. The band certainly doesn’t lack for large selection of instantly recognizable songs. They are able to choose from the steady stream of Chicago hits starting in the late ‘60s. 

“This allows the band ample opportunity to spotlight each of the three main vocalists as well as showcase a tight horn section and beautifully arranged vocal harmonies. 

“They have honed their craft by playing over 90 shows at casinos, festivals, performing arts theaters, music venues all around the Southeastern U.S. See a show and you will know why Beat Atlanta Magazine calls them ‘The best tribute band out there.’”
