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.

Summer music is under way!
Weather has been a bit brutal in the Midwest, between intense storms, extreme heat and poor air quality from Canadian forest fires. It's all made a dent in a few of our summer shows, which had to be canceled and rescheduled. We're not alone, all local bands have been affected, but we're muddling through it as best we can and hope you'll join us for a show near you! Check out our SHOWS page for a list of upcoming summer concerts, Hope to see you soon!
