Chi-Town Transit Authority

Doors 6:00 PM  | Show 7:30 PM

14+

Chi-Town Transit Authority (CTA) is an 8-piece Chicago tribute band founded in 2017 dedicated to reproducing the “Chicago” concert experience.

The 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 recreating the best of Chicago’s songs from studio and live versions and then design a show that first captures the audience, 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 a large selection of instantly recognizable songs. 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, and music venues all around the southeastern US. Beat Atlanta Magazine calls them “The best tribute band out there.”

Storming around the stage with a fun-loving sense of flamboyance; part diva, part soccer player, killer vocalist, fierce piano player, all rock & roller. Rus’ painstaking attention to detail includes wearing gorgeous, colorful & spectacular costumes (many actually worn by Elton) including his iconic boots, glasses & jumpsuits from 1973, as well as a sparkly Swarovski tuxedo from 1984.It is clearly the most authentic Elton John tribute show in the world.
