Connecticut Transit Authority -The Ultimate Chicago Tribute Band

Connecticut Transit Authority faithfully recreates the music of one of the greatest American bands ever, Chicago. We focus on the early years of Chicago, better known as the "Terry Kath Era", when the band was raw with emotion, heart and soul.

Songs from Chicago's 1969 debut album Chicago Transit Authority through 1977's Chicago XI are covered here with attention to detail and respect for the originators of these timeless classics. Our set list contains hits like Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is, Make Me Smile, Beginnings, Just You 'n Me, Dialogue, Old Days, and many more!

Besides just being a total gas, the main reason we’re tributing C.T.A. is because we love their music and want to keep the original Chicago Transit Authority alive, well and in front of audiences every time we play.

Making up the musical nucleus of Connecticut Transit Authority is Bill Calabrese - bass, vocals / Tom Barra - keys, vocals / Brett Calabrese - guitar, vocals / Dave LaSalata - drums, vocals, and its incredibly talented horn section - Tim Lewis - sax / Vinny Cassotta - trumpet / Evan Gray - trombone

We really hope that you come out to enjoy the music of C.T.A. whenever and wherever we perform. Much love....
