In August 2002 we became The Who. September was Sly & the Family Stone, followed by CSNY and then The Police. Tributosaurus is not just a band…it is a musical event, a happening. Tributosaurus is the Jurassic beast of multiple musical faces, and every month, the beast morphs into a different rock group. Every set is tweaked with the lineup essential to accurately re-create the recorded material of an amazing array of artists. This mandate draws the finest musicians from Chicagoland and beyond to join the core group to sit in…to sing and play songs they’ve wanted to cover all their lives. For Paul McCartney, we had members of the CSO and 30 people on stage, for Ray Charles we had a full big band, for Paul Simon we had an ensemble of native South American flutes -- whatever it takes. If there's a song that requires 2 keyboard players, 3 guitarists, a mandolin and a 6 piece horn section -- you can bet we'll have 'em. The Tributosaurus Core is comprised of 4 of the top musicians in Chicagoland. These players consider themselves the Civil War re-creationists of rock and roll, as they skillfully learn a brand new set of material every month, note for note. The shows have developed into a unique scene — hipsters and musicians mingling with fans in the sell-out crowds, enjoying a one-night experience that will never be performed again. For over 50 bands, we have been joined by members of The Rolling Stones, Umphrees McGee, Mister Blotto, Anita Baker, The Band, Poi Dog Pondering, Local H, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and the list goes on and on.

| SECOND SHOW ADDED FOR EARTH WIND, & FIRE SHOW !!!! |
Black History Month always signals a famous black artist from us, and since we did al new material on New Year's Eve for the first time, we decided to repeat one of our favorites in February... Huge horns, deep funk grooves, killer vocals, and incredibly weird mysticism combine to bring you one of the truly great bands of the 1970s, and a favorite of our new president, Earth, Wind, & Fire! This show was unbelievable when we did it way back in 2005, and we've been chomping at the bit to do it again ever since! Well, we expected that people would be shy about buying tickets for a February show, but boy were we wrong! The early show is already almost full, so we've added a late show. The new show will start at 10:30 (promptly), and the early show has been moved back to a 7:30 start (also prompt). This gives us enough time to do the show and give plenty of time for the room to clear and fill without having people standing outside in the cold. So come on night owls, this one's for you! Tributosaurus becomes EARTH, WIND & FIRE (Redux) Tickets available at www.martyrslive.com
