They are Grammy award winners, American Music Award winners, and in 2008 were named number 13 on Billboard Magazines Top 100 artists of all time. The self-described "rock and roll band with horns" Chicago has celebrated decades of hit ballads and is one of the longest running and most successful pop/rock groups of all time.

Now Chicago Live in Concert brings their "O Christmas Three Tour" to Cleveland, playing all their hits as well as selections from their new Christmas CD, 14 bona fide smash holiday favorites, produced by Phil Ramone. You'll be singing along to all your favorites plus Christmas classics like Jingle Bells, Here Comes Santa Claus, and Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, all "Chicagoized" in classic form.

Formed in 1967, in Chicago Illinois, Chicago is made up of founding members, Robert Lamm, whose vocal and keyboard performances are instantly recognizable - a huge part of Chicago's Signature Sound, Lee Loughnane, on trumpet, James Pankow, trombonist and responsible for most of Chicago's horn arrangements, and Walt Parazaider, whose primary musical role has consisted of playing saxophone, flute, and woodwinds. They are joined by members Jason Scheff, Keith Howland, Tris Imboden, and Lou Pardini.
