About Chicago Rewired
Chicago Rewired is a Charlotte-area tribute band dedicated to recreating the music of Chicago. Formed in 2015 by drummer Mike Graci, the group performs as an eight-piece band with a three-person horn section, giving it the instrumentation needed to handle the layered arrangements at the center of Chicago’s sound.
The band focuses on the details that make this catalog recognizable, including vocal harmonies, shifting lead vocals, rhythmic changes, and prominent brass parts. Rather than concentrating on a single period, Chicago Rewired draws from several stages of the band’s musical development.
Known as “The Premier Chicago Tribute Band,” Chicago Rewired performs throughout the United States and is also available for international engagements. Its Eatonton appearance brings that full-band approach to a theater designed for live performance and community arts programming.
What You Will Hear
The performance may span early jazz-influenced material, horn-driven rock, radio-friendly pop, classic rock, and later ballads. Chicago’s catalog also draws from soul and R&B traditions, giving the tribute show room to move between energetic brass passages, layered ensemble sections, and more vocal-centered arrangements.
Audiences can expect the horns to play a central role rather than serving as background decoration. The three-person section works alongside guitars, keyboards, bass, drums, and multiple vocal parts to reproduce the shifts in texture found throughout the music.
The show is not limited to one style or decade. It draws from the changing sound of Chicago across its career, from complex early arrangements to polished radio hits and slower material built around melody and harmony. The exact selections may vary, but the performance is designed to reflect the range of the catalog rather than promise a fixed setlist.
