A pair of tribute bands bring the power sounds of the 70s and 80s to Highlands Performing Arts Center.
End of the Line
If these dog days of summer have you pining for the sounds of a simpler time, we have a pair of concerts coming up that’ll transport you immediately back to the 1970s.
Chi-Town Transit Authority is an 8-piece Chicago tribute band founded in 2017 and based out of Atlanta dedicated to reproducing the “Chicago” concert experience without any pre-recorded tracks.
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 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, 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 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 casinos, festivals, theaters and music venues all around the Southeastern US. Enjoy the show and you will know why Beat Atlanta Magazine calls them “The best tribute band out there.” Join us at 7:30 P.M. Thursday, August 15.
End of the Line is the premier Allman Brothers Tribute Band. Having carved up the Southeast with Sold-Out shows. End of the Line is making a name for themselves with a sound as classic and heavy as the original brothers themselves.
From the authentic, raspy vocal approach of Juston Smith to the chugging drum/percussion train of Chase Bader, Dave Czuba and Ryan McClanahan, the band both pays homage while pushing the boundaries of the timeless and extensive catalog. With endorsements from the Official Allman Brothers Museum, The Big House, the End of the Line carries on the legacy of the Allman Brothers with poise and power. Come experience the soul, the guitarmony, the jam and the ramblin’ spirit that still lives on through each note 7:30 P.M. Saturday, September 7.
Tickets are available at HighlandsPerformingArts.com. Highlands PAC is located at 507 Chestnut Street.
