Classic Rock... with a little Bach!
Classical Blast blurs musical lines, melding well known classical music into classic rock hits or rocking music by Beethoven, Bach, Mozart and composers from other centuries, sometimes adding original lyrics or introducing symphonic elements into our own music.
From Bach to classic rock to metal and more, you’ll find our approach to music a refreshing change.
It’s the past, present & future brought together in perfect harmony!
While the band is best known for their classical-rock mashups, we perform 3 distinctly unique classic rock shows throughout the year, combining a broad spectrum of music —
from classical to world to Christmas — with rock music to create exciting themed concerts.
LATEST NEWS
A Weather Challenged Summer!
We’ve had some great shows so far this summer, but weather also caused cancellations and rescheduled dates. If venues don’t provide a covered stage or area, we simply can’t take the risk of ruining our equipment and instruments when rain threatens. We did get most of our show in at Frankfort, Roselle and Norridge, though cut slightly short by storms rolling in. A few show a have been rescheduled, so check our updated SHOW listings.
You’ll find last minute news, cancellation updates and rescheduled info on our Facebook page, so join us there too!
Above: We got almost our entire set in at "Island in the City" fest in Norridge before the heavens unleashed and shut down the fest. Maybe we shouldn't have performed our new "Rain" medley!
Above: It was a typically HOT summer afternoon for Crystal Lake's 4th of July Fireworks Fest at Dole Mansion across from Main Beach. The crowd managed to find some shade and we had a BLAST!
More threatening weather, but we DID get our shows in at Lake Park in DesPlaines (left) and at Shorewood Glen's Ravinia Night event (right), both to very enthusiastic crowds!
