They’ll make your EARS SMILE with the memorable CLASSIC SONGS of the 60’s, 70’s & 80’s.

Considered the WORLD’S GREATEST TRIBUTE BAND with multiple sold-out U.S. tours and thousands of fans around the world, Leonid & Friends continues to astound its global audience with its unique ability in capturing the spirit, musicality, and fire of American supergroup Chicago. What is even more stunning is that Leonid & Friends, comprised of 11 of the finest musicians in Eastern Europe, had never seen Chicago perform live. Back in 2014, Leonid Vorobyev decided to indulge his love for the band by gathering a few fellow musicians in a studio to record a video of them playing his favorite Chicago tune, “Brand New Love Affair”. No charts or scores of the song existed, so Vorobyev took the time to transcribe the tune by ear. The result was a YouTube video that quickly went viral, but they really gained traction when Chicago itself published the video on its official website. With the urging of fans, they now include songs by Earth, Wind & Fire, Tower of Power, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Ides of March and even Chaka Khan performed by their beautiful female vocalist Ksenia, plus they always throw in a few surprises. This incredible 11-piece band now has over 700,000 fans world-wide, an astonishing 150 million+ video views, and over 250 successful US shows under their belt. Needless to say…….The future is only looking up for Leonid & Friends.
