Chi-Town Transit Authority is an 8-piece tribute band dedicated to reproducing the sound and spirit of the rock band, Chicago. Formed in Atlanta, Georgia, the group features a full horn section, multiple vocalists, and a rhythm section that captures the energy of Chicago’s original recordings. Their live performances showcase a wide range of Chicago’s most popular hits, including “25 or 6 to 4,” “Saturday in the Park,” “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?”, and “Beginnings,” among many others. With attention to musical detail and high-energy delivery, Chi-Town Transit Authority offers audiences an authentic concert experience that pays homage to one of America’s most enduring rock bands known for blending rock, pop, jazz, and classical influences. The band has toured extensively across the country, building a reputation for engaging performances and faithful renditions of Chicago’s expansive catalog.

The concert, which also serves as a fundraiser for the Hackettstown Rotary Club, will support the Hackettstown Rotary Club’s local and international service projects. They are known in the local community for their various fundraising events including shredding events, a food drive, and The Memorial Motor Madness Car Show on the grounds of Mars Wrigley Confectionery. Founded in 1923, the Hackettstown Rotary Club is part of Rotary International, a global service organization committed to causes such as supporting education, improving health care, advancing peace, and providing clean water. The Hackettstown chapter has been actively involved in local scholarships, food insecurity efforts, and community development initiatives.
