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 their own music. From Bach to classic rock to metal and beyond, we hope 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, they perform 3 distinctly unique shows throughout the year, combining a broad spectrum of music — from classical to world to Christmas —
with rock music to create exciting themed concerts.

Happy Spring! What an AMAZING Celtic Season we had with our “Classical Blast in Kilts” show this year, including a live performance on WGN’s “Daytime Chicago,” performances at TWO Blackhawks games and multiple sold out concert shows. If you missed it, check out the photos below, or our live appearance on WGN-TV above. We’ll perform the show again later this summer for a few very special Celtic Festivals.
Headin’ West! We’re off on a grand adventure with the Wyoming Symphony Orchestra, who has invited us to perform for the school children and community of Casper. This is our first “Fly-Trip” as a band and we’re so excited! We’ll be performing at 6 elementary schools, as part of the Orchestra’s “Music on the Move” outreach program. We’ll also be speaking to a few high school music classes about life as professional musicians, and a community performance so parents and others can hear us too. We’ll share the adventure on social media.
We'll jump right into shows in the Chicagoland area as soon as we return, so check our list of Upcoming Shows to find one near you! Tickets for many of them are on sale or will be very soon.
