Learn more about Old Days
Old Days – A Chicago Tribute, was formed in 2018 by a group of Flint, Michigan natives who all had a love for the music of the iconic rock band, Chicago.
From the very beginning, their primary focus has been preserving the original works of Chicago through careful re-creation of classic live and recorded performances. They are committed to providing audiences with an authentic, live Chicago concert experience. From the re-creation of those iconic horn lines we all know and love, to the signature guitar parts of the late Terry Kath, Old Days brings to life all of those incredible hits of the 1970’s and 80’s.
You won’t see any music sheets on stage, and you won’t hear any computer-generated tracks. What you see on the stage is what you hear! Old Days strives to present an energetic, entertaining performance that will, if just for a couple hours, provide an escape from the stress of life, and transplant the audience to the serenity of a “Saturday in the Park”!
Opening Act - The Gobies
The Gobies are an alternative rock band based in St. Clair, Michigan. This all-singing band was put together by guitarist brothers Jon and Tom Janssen in 2010, with Keith Ottenbacher on drums, Mike Hoggard on bass, along with DJ Spradja. Playing festivals and venues all over Michigan, The Gobies have played with many national acts, including The Guess Who, Spin Doctors, John Waite, Gin Blossoms, and many more. They have played to thousands of enthusiastic fans all over the area, playing dance hall songs that range from Rock to Country. They never fail to entertain and pull everyone in on the fun!
