Drew departure from Chicago

Hi All,
 
Drew Hester notified Chicago that due to his primary passion of playing drums,
he would leave the touring band to pursue this passion.
 
Chicago has hired Walfredo Reyes on percussion, who will blow your mind, being
a perfect fit for the touring band.

In a short amount of time, he already fits the Chicago ensemble like a glove.

PRODUCER JOHN VAN EPS “RUINS” FIVE CLASSIC CHICAGO SONGS AND MORE BY ROBERT LAMM

 

ROBERT LAMM SONGS:  THE JVE REMIXES LANDS JUNE 1 ON BLUE INFINITY/CHICAGO RECORDS II

 

~June 1, 2012~

New York, NY (April 24, 2012)—Robert Lamm Songs: The JVE ReMixes, will be released on June 1 on CD and vinyl via Blue Infinity/Chicago Records II. It’s like nothing you’ve ever heard before! Dance floor remixes are one thing. What producer John Van Eps does to such iconic rock classics by Chicago—all written by Robert Lamm—is another. You might call it deconstructing the songs and rebuilding them from the ground floor up using their DNA. Eps even snipped lyric lines, juxtapositioning words to change meanings. You might even say Eps eviscerated these songs, gutted them like fish. The weirder Eps got, the more Lamm loved it. Eps even told Lamm:  “Thank you for letting me ruin your songs.”

Robert Lamm: Special appearance May 14

Hi Everyone,

A message from Robert Lamm:

"My appearance with Les Deux Love Orchestra, (although just to sing Robert Palmer's "Aeroplane") will be my first opportunity to perform with one of the most enigmatic musicians I know.
Bobby Woods has been a very kind and generous friend for a long time, but his eclectic and gorgeous
Les Deux Love Orchestra albums have been among my favorites ever since our mutual friend Gerry Beckley introduced us. http://www.lesdeuxloveorchestra.com
KCRW's legendary DJ Chris Douridas is hosting this special evening.
