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, 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.

1-2. Threatening storms couldn't keep the crowds away from our return to Chicago's Botanic Gardens earlier this summer.
We moved under the tent at their Pavilion and folks surrounded it! Mother Nature rewarded us with a gorgeous sunset too!
3. A summer storm moved all around us as we set up at Schaumburg's Town Square, but the crowd came and the rains passed us by! We must be livin' right.
4. We found a new fan in Deerfield this summer and he followed us to Morton Grove later in the summer! Little Judah may be auditioning for a spot in Classical Blast soon.
5. We were the first band EVER to perform at this park in Sleepy Hollow and we had so much fun!
6. The grounds of beautiful Lehman Mansion provided the PERFECT spot for a concert hosted by the Lindenhurst Park District, and the large crowd thought so too! We hope to be back to all of these fabulous venues next year!
Winter is coming!
We’ve been working all summer to bring you new holiday music, both recorded and LIVE! We can finally announce a bit about BOTH. We anticipate our new holiday album, titled “Whiter Shade of Winter” will release in late October or early November, with our first single from it, called “WonderChild,” coming out in early October. We will let you know as soon as final release dates are announced by our record label. What we can tell you is that there are new holiday-classic rock mashups, as well as previously unrecorded favorites from our “Dark Side of the Yule” holiday shows.
And speaking of “Dark Side of the Yule” shows, we’ll be back with those in December! Tickets for most will go on sale in mid-Sept. You can find a list on our SHOWS page with additional performances added soon. Tickets links will be added as they become available, and also announced on social media. The shows will feature new music from our new album, as well as older favorites! We’ll have the new “Whiter Shade of Winter” CDs available at all our shows and they will also be offered for sale on our website and through most digital outlets.
Our "Dark Side of the Yule" holiday shows are coming to a favorite theatrical venue near you this winter!
“Classical Blast's Christmas album won’t fail to impress.
In fact, it just might be the most unique holiday album ever!”
