Chicago has written, recorded and performed some of the most popular and musically innovative songs in rock history. Billboard Magazine positioned the band at number 13 on their Hot 100 chart’s All-Time Top 100 – a byproduct of having sold more than 100 million records and having earned 20 Top hits, five number one albums, five number one singles and five Gold singles. Chicago has also won a Grammy Award, American Music Awards, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, had a downtown Chicago street renamed in their honor, and been celebrated with an exhibit at the Chicago History Museum. An incredible 25 of their 30 albums have been certified platinum, and Chicago is the first American band to chart Top 40 albums in five decades. Through it all, Chicago remains a working band, touring continually since forming in 1967.
On the philanthropic front, Chicago actively supports two charities through their concert ticket sales. Since 1995, the band has donated a portion of each ticket sold to the Ara Parseghian Medical Research Foundation, which seeks a cure to the fatal children’s disease, Neimann-Pick Type C. For the last five years, the band has donated an additional portion of ticket sales to help raise money for Hannah & Friends, which works to improve the quality of life for children and adults with special needs. Hannah & Friends is the personal mission of Maura Weis and her husband, current Notre Dame Football Coach Charlie Weis.
The Doobie Brothers have weathered personnel and style changes to remain successful, with sales of more than 50 million albums, accumulating 13 gold and 11 multi-platinum sales awards and four Grammy Awards. The band formed in 1969 as a hard-rocking trio with vocalist Tom Johnston, John Hartman and Dave Shogren. Guitarist Patrick Simmons soon joined the group and the quartet released their self-titled debut album in 1971.
The band is currently working on their upcoming full-length album, which marks the return of the longtime Doobie Brothers producer Ted Templeman. Fifteen songs have been written for this release.
Current band members include Johnston (vocals/guitar), Simmons (vocals/guitar), along with Guy Allison (keyboard/vocals), Michael Hossack (drums), John McFee (guitar/strings/vocals), Marc Russo (saxophone), Skylark (bass/vocals) and Ed Toth (drums).
Chicago and The Doobie Brothers are part of the Belle Tire Concert Series.
