CHICAGO REWIRED
The PREMIER "Chicago" Tribute Band
Chicago Rewired, The Premier Chicago Tribute Band is an 8-piece ensemble based in Charlotte, North Carolina, performing nationwide at theaters, casinos, festivals, performing arts centers, and corporate events. Since 2015, the band has faithfully recreated the unmistakable sound of Chicago with powerful vocals, a world-class horn section, and meticulous attention to the legendary group’s iconic arrangements.
Founded by Charlotte drummer Mike Graci, Chicago Rewired was born from a simple idea: audiences deserved more than another cover band. Mike set out to assemble a group of exceptional musicians capable of delivering the energy, precision, and musicianship that made Chicago one of the most successful rock bands of all time. The result is a tribute production dedicated to recreating the excitement and authenticity of the original recordings while capturing the spirit of Chicago’s unforgettable live performances.
Each member of Chicago Rewired brings decades of professional performing experience and a shared passion for the music. Together, they deliver the soaring brass, intricate harmonies, and timeless songs that have defined generations, from 25 or 6 to 4 and Saturday in the Park to You’re the Inspiration and Hard to Say I’m Sorry.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
WHAT OUR FANS SAY…
"It was a great decision to bring in Chicago Rewired as the entertainment during our annual corporate retreat. As a law firm with 450 attorneys, it can be challenging to find acts with universal appeal. Chicago Rewired was the absolute right choice for our corporate gathering. One of our partners commented that he had seen the original Chicago 10 times previously, and that our show was like being at one of those concerts. Additionally, Mike Graci and the other members of the band were extremely professional, likeable and responsive. Our experience with
Chicago Rewired was first rate!!”
