Formed in 2002 out of love and respect for the music of Chicago, Beginnings has earned a well-deserved reputation as the nation's premier tribute to America's favorite "Rock and Roll Band with Horns". With a home base in the New York City area, Beginnings plays to enthusiastic and loyal audiences all over the United States and beyond.

The band consists of professional musicians (and a Grammy nominee!) from across the country with performance credits including Billy Joel's "Movin' Out",  Aretha Franklin, The Temptations, and many others. Only musicians of this caliber can truly "deliver the goods" when it comes to performing the unique and challenging music of Chicago.

Simply put, every Beginnings show is an electrifying live concert experience, featuring world class musicians performing accurate versions of Chicago's vast catalog of hits. The band does this with an energetic, family friendly and fan-focused stage show. Come see Beginnings live, and see why "Make Me Smile" isn't merely a great Chicago song, it's the band's mantra!
