Chi-Town Transit Authority

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.”

Truly Yours Presents Jarrod Lawson at Phil Long Music Hall

Formerly held close as one of the Pacific Northwest’s best-kept musical secrets, Jarrod Lawson has exploded as an international sensation, garnering awards, performing at prestigious venues and spawning fresh notability for Portland’s burgeoning soul/jazz music scene. Ever since Lawson released his eponymous debut album in 2014, the smokey voiced singer-songwriter and virtuoso pianist has been sending positive ripples around the globe with his powerful message music. He has completed seven successful international tours with prestigious highlights extending from Rotterdam’s North Sea Jazz and the UK’s Love Supreme festivals to Java Jazz festival in Indonesia, with performances in Beijing, Melbourne and at Tokyo’s Billboard Live. His very first overseas performance was at the world famous Ronnie Scott’s Club in London in 2014, following which the Jazzwise reviewer wrote: “With the deafening buzz surrounding this gig, Lawson has to show and prove, and he does so and then some, pretty much from the downbeat”.

Lawson followed his debut album with a limited edition vinyl EP “Jarrod Lawson At The BBC”, recorded at London’s historic BBC Maida Vale studios and broadcast on the Gilles Peterson Worldwide Show.

Lawson won ‘Soul Artist Of The Year’ at the Jazz FM Awards and has been dubbed “the hottest talent to hit soul music in at least ten years” by Echoes magazine.  In the US, he has performed on the Capital Jazz Cruise and has appeared in leading jazz clubs across the country from Atlanta to Seattle.

His second album “Be The Change”, which benefits from the presence of legendary Grammy-nominated percussionist Sammy Figueroa, also features vocalist Amber Navran and her fellow members of the Los Angeles alternative soul trio Moonchild, guesting on “I’ll Be Your Radio”.

In March of 2023, Jarrod set out on an exhaustive 10-show solo UK tour, ‘One Man & His Piano’, delivering his most intimate and stirring performances to date, for sold-out crowds all across the UK.
