Leonid & Friends: The Music of Chicago (and more)

Tickets:

  • Preferred: $40
  • General Admission: $35

LEONID & FRIENDS have blown the minds of legions of fans with their uncanny ability to capture American supergroup Chicago’s spirit, musicality, and fire. Leonid Vorobyev’s goal was a studio project in dedication to the band Chicago under the motto “musicians for musicians”. Their first video went viral, but they really gained traction when “Chicago” published it on their official website.

They have since expanded their repertoire to include Earth Wind & Fire, Blood Sweat & Tears, Ides of March, Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, Deep Purple, and new original material. This incredible 11-piece band now has over 700,000 followers across social media, an astonishing 200 million+ video views, and over 200 successful US shows. The future is only looking up for Leonid & Friends.

FireHouse has released the following statement regarding the 2024 Tour with Warrant:

We’re sad to learn of the passing of CJ Snare, the original lead vocalist, and a founding member of the musical group FireHouse. We were looking forward to CJ rejoining the band after recovering from surgery last fall. Unfortunately, due to CJ’s untimely passing, that won’t be possible. FireHouse will however still be performing with Warrant on Saturday, May 11 at the Municipal Arena in Watertown NY.

Nate Peck, 2023 American Idol Golden Ticket recipient from Season 21, will be handling vocals. With CJ’s blessing and full support, Nate has been singing with the band in CJ’s absence over the past 6 months.

CJ left an indelible mark on the music industry with his soaring vocals and the FireHouse music he helped craft.

Reach for the Sky CJ! Your memory and your music will live on forever.
