"25 or 6 to Faux" brings the horn-driven sound of Chicago to the Chrome Showroom stage, led by musicians who've spent their careers backing names like Foreigner's Lou Gramm, Asia, Ted Nugent, and Barry Manilow. The band leans into a full horn section to recreate the layered, brassy arrangements that made Chicago a fixture on classic rock radio, running through favorites like "Saturday in the Park," "25 or 6 to 4," "Color My World," "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is," and "Beginnings," all set against a multi-media backdrop.
Beyond the Chicago catalog, the band tacks on a bonus set of horn-heavy classics from Steely Dan, The Blues Brothers, and Blood Sweat and Tears, giving the night a broader survey of the era's brass-forward rock and soul. It's a show built for anyone who grew up on FM radio staples and wants to hear those horn lines played live and loud.
