Tributosaurus becomes BOB DYLAN with special guests Terry White and Pat Brennan

Tributosaurus takes a trip through Bob Dylan's vast songbook with special guests Terry White and Pat Brennan.

For the last decade, Tributosaurus has been paying homage to a different artist once every month. Their goal is to exactly re-create the sounds of the original recordings as closely as possible, whatever that may entail. Consequently, the core members of the group have become incredibly adept at designing sounds, transcribing performances, recognizing and creating widely varied arrangements -- managing to do this with a completely new catalog of material every show. Every month they feature a wide array of guests, including horn sections, string sections, ethnic instruments and ensembles, multiple guitarists and keyboardists, and many singers both lead and supporting. This has put them in the unique position of having a direct line to the largest network of top-flight players in Chicago, all of whom know them and work well with them. The Tributosaurus core has become the ultimate musical chameleon, able to jump from style to style, from ensemble to ensemble easily. They know and listen to each other attentively, which makes each perfomance sound like a BAND, as opposed to a group of random assembled players. 

Admission is $20.
