Leonid & Friends: A Chicago Tribute in Los Angeles

Moscow-based tribute band Leonid & Friends brings their faithful renditions of Chicago's classic catalog to Los Angeles. Founded by multi-instrumentalist Leonid Vorobyev, the group first gained fame through viral YouTube videos before launching US tours in 2019. Their performances recreate the rich brass-and-keys sound of Chicago's horn-driven rock, with a rotating lineup of musicians from Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, and Belarus.

Attendees can expect a high-energy show covering decades of Chicago hits, alongside occasional forays into Earth, Wind & Fire, Blood, Sweat & Tears, and Steely Dan. The current tour, Make Me Smile Tour, features the band's signature tight harmonies and instrumental prowess. For fans of classic rock and horn bands, this is a rare opportunity to experience a tribute with authentic musicianship and genuine passion for the material.
