Leonid & Friends
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.
Originally conceived as a studio project in Moscow, Leonid & Friends skyrocketed to international fame when their note-perfect video covers went viral online, earning praise from members of Chicago themselves. What began as a YouTube phenomenon has since evolved into a world-class touring act, captivating audiences across North America, Europe, and Asia. With over 500 million combined video views, multiple sold-out U.S. tours, and a devoted global fanbase, the band is beloved worldwide for honoring the classics while expanding far beyond them—reviving the sound, spirit, and joy of a generation with unmatched musicianship and heart.
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.
