Chicago

	Starting in 1967, well before all the hits started flowing, Chicago established a reputation for its powerful live show.  Fueled by a passion for music, Chicago’s members exploded the conventions of what rock music could or should be.  The result was a groundbreaking new form, played by extraordinarily talented musicians.  Early fans like Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin were sufficiently impressed - they took the group out on their respective tours.  Once the group began making records, fans rewarded the group with record sales of 100,000,000, 21 Top 10 singles, 5 consecutive Number One albums, 5 Number One singles, 13 Platinum albums and 5 Gold singles.  An incredible 25 of their 30 albums have been certified platinum. To date, Chicago is the first American band to chart Top 40 albums in five decades – a landmark accomplishment.   Hits Include: You're the Inspiration Baby What a Big Surprise 25 or 6 to 4 If You Leave Me Now Hard Habit to Break   Visit Chicago's Website!
The Smoke Ring
	The Smoke Ring, originally from Norfolk, Ne, was formed in 1965 by combining two popular Northeast Nebraska bands, Little Joe and the Ramrods, and The Strollers. The Ramrods released several successful singles in the early 60's on Soma Records and Studio City Records, and as The Smoke Ring had a national release on Mala Records "That Girl Was My Girl One Time" in 1966 which found regional success throughout the country. Hits include: That Girl Was My Girl One Time No Not Much Visit The Smoke Ring's Website!
