A powerful night of classic rock as legendary 8-piece band Sons of Chicago perform the music of iconic American artist — Bruce Springsteen — in a show that celebrates the dreams, hopes, hardship and glory of life in the U.S.A.
The band delivers an electrifying, full-throttle performance of Springsteen’s hit anthems, ballads and other gems. Springsteen’s masterworks Born to Run, Rosalita, Thunder Road, Glory Days, Promised Land, Spirit of the Night, Badlands, Tenth Avenue Freezeout, Bobby Jean, Nebraska, The Rising, Fire and others are delivered with the same emotional energy as the originals.
Every lyric is a memory, and every riff a heartbeat, keeping the audience rocking, dancing and singing with the band.
Expect an unforgettable evening of gritty vocals, searing sax licks, soaring guitars, superb piano and organ, and the kind of storied lyrics that only Springsteen can inspire — performed by a band of renowned professional musicians that channel their spirit with unmatched energy.
This is a feel-good, do-good evening of rock ‘n’ roll that makes a real difference. The show is part of the Wintrust 20,000 Meals Tour that provides funding for local food pantries with a series of concerts in Southern Wisconsin, Chicagoland, and Northern Indiana. Special thanks to Wintrust Bank, the Bomher Family Foundation, and the Pinnacle Foundation and others for their generous support.
“These concerts are about more than great music — they’re about coming together to fight hunger and support our neighbors.”
— Matt Gambs, Chief Community Impact Officer, Wintrust
