Chicago Transit Experience is a vibrant horn-driven tribute act capturing the spirit of Chicago’s rich musical legacy. Formed in 2023 by Jeff Heiser — best known for creating The Afterparty Band — this 9-piece ensemble blends rock, jazz, and R&B with three-part vocal harmonies to deliver an authentic Chicago sound. With longtime Seattle-area musicians in the lineup, the project focuses on dynamic live performances that highlight the energy and swing of the Windy City’s classic recordings and live staples.
