BRASS TRANSIT: THE MUSICAL LEGACY OF CHICAGO

February 15, 2024

Brass Transit was formed in 2008, its accomplished, award-winning roster intent on paying tribute to the decades-long, multiplatinum songbook of Chicago. Brass Transit goes far beyond just replicating the songs; they embody the music. They recently produced their first (self-titled) album, taking songs by other top rock artists from the seventies and recording them with horns in the Chicago style. The result is a fresh approach to some of the greatest hits of the era. They also recently scored their show for full symphony orchestra with original arrangements that are truly spellbinding.

Community Band

Concerts are held at 7:00pm every Thursday evening in June at the Larry J. Clark Memorial Gazebo on the square. The band has a special performance as part of the Chariton 4th of July Celebration. 

 

High School students and adults are welcome and encouraged to join the band. Please contact Adam Bahr at (641) 774-2585 for information.
