Few bands in American music history can match the legacy of "Chicago." Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and recipients of the Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award, "Chicago" stands as one of the most successful and enduring groups of all time. With more than 100 million records sold worldwide, 21 Top 10 singles, 11 No. 1 singles, five consecutive No. 1 albums, and 25 platinum-certified records, their impact is both massive and measurable. Billboard ranked "Chicago" as the highest-charting American band in its Top 125 Artists of All Time, and they remain the first American rock band to chart Top 40 albums in six consecutive decades. Signature songs like “25" or "6 to 4,” “Saturday in the Park,” “Make Me Smile,” and “Feelin’ Stronger Every Day”, helped define a generation, blending rock, pop, and jazz into a bold, horn-driven sound that became unmistakably their own. Their groundbreaking 1969 debut, "Chicago Transit Authority," was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and later added to the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress, recognizing its cultural and historical significance. Songwriters Robert Lamm and James Pankow were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, further cementing the band’s creative influence. "Chicago’s" accolades also include two Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, designation as Founding Artists of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and countless civic honors from cities across the country. Remarkably, "Chicago" has toured every year since forming in 1967—never missing a year. In 2025, they mark their 58th consecutive year on the road. Original members Robert Lamm, Lee Loughnane, and James Pankow continue to anchor a dynamic lineup that brings the band’s iconic horn section and beloved catalog to stages worldwide. Recent releases—including expanded anniversary editions, archival live recordings, holiday collections, and new studio work—demonstrate a band that continues to celebrate its history while staying active and engaged. From arena anthems to intimate ballads, "Chicago’s" concerts are more than performances—they’re celebrations of a catalog that has become woven into the fabric of American music. Nearly six decades in, "Chicago" remains a true ambassador for its hometown and a living testament to longevity, musicianship, and timeless songwriting.

We've become too accustomed to the throw-away lifestyle. If something breaks, we replace it with a new one. This behavior is filling our landfills at an alarming rate, and electronic waste is now one of the biggest sources of pollution. So why not learn how to fix things instead?! Bring your broken, non-working items—electronics, appliances, computers, toys, bicycles, clothes, and more—for assessment, disassembly, and possible repair. We'll provide a workspace, specialty tools, and guidance to help you disassemble and troubleshoot your item. Even if we can't fix it, you'll learn more about how it was made and how it works. This event is fun for the whole family, so bring your kids! We are expanding rapidly and will host events all over San Diego County. San Diego FixIt Clinic: Website / Facebook / Instagram
