BEGINNINGS: TRIBUTE TO CHICAGO
Perhaps more than any other city in the United States, Chicago, located at the center of the nation,
has reflected the cultural diversity of significant musical talent.
Drawing ideas from great Chicago musicians like jazzman Lionel Hampton, bluesman Muddy Waters,
and big band King of Swing Benny Goodman, in 1967,
Chicago musicians formed a group with one dream – to integrate all the musical diversity
from their beloved city and weave a new sound, a rock 'n' roll band with horns.
Chicago Transit Authority was born, and their dream turned into 20 Top Ten singles,
12 Top Ten albums (five of which were #1), and sales of more than 120 million records.
Out of the love and respect for the music of Chicago, in the fall of 2002,
a band called Beginnings was born on Long Island — and they’ve been dazzling audiences ever since.
Join us for an amazing evening with Beginnings, the best of Chicago’s music, right here at the DHPAC.
This show will sell out, so get your tickets early.
