Leonid & Friends: A Tribute To Chicago at Murat Theatre

They'll Make You Smile! 

They are the world’s most accurate, talented, and iconic Chicago tribute band. In just over a decade, since multi-instrumentalist and sound engineer Leonid Vorobyev launched his project on YouTube, Leonid & Friends exploded into a worldwide phenomenon, with over a million followers, over 585,000 subscribers on YouTube, and over 300 million views across media platforms. The 11-piece band went viral for all the right reasons - replicating American rock icons Chicago’s complex arrangements note for note; their incredible ability to keep their audience singing and dancing, enjoying the music of Chicago and other iconic bands such as Earth, Wind & Fire, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Ides Of March, Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder, and Deep Purple alongside some original music; mind-blowing ensemble playing; their mastery of material that is rhythmically, harmonically, and melodically complex; their incredible technical skill; and their flawless performances.
