Leonid & Friends is a globally acclaimed, genre-defying 11-piece collective renowned for their astonishingly precise recreations of classic Chicago songs, alongside high-energy performances of other rock, pop, and jazz-fusion hits from the 1970s. Formed by multi-talented musician and producer Leonid Vorobyev, the group features elite vocalists and instrumentalists from Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, and beyond—united by a shared passion for celebrating this iconic era of music. In concert, Leonid & Friends deliver a stunningly authentic and exhilarating experience, complete with a razor-tight horn section, rich vocal harmonies, and unmistakable rock & roll soul. Fans can expect timeless anthems like ***25 or 6 to 4*, *Make Me Smile*, *Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?*, *Feelin’ Stronger Every Day*, *Beginnings*, *Questions 67 & 68*,** and ***Hard to Say I’m Sorry/Get Away***, along with select surprises from an ever-expanding repertoire that includes Earth, Wind & Fire, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Steely Dan, The Carpenters, and other beloved ’70s favorites. Each performance is more than a tribute concert—it’s a joyous celebration of the music that defined an era.
