GENRE: Rock | Rock n’ Roll
School of Rock Chicago is a growing, passionate community dedicated to enriching lives through performance-based music education. Located in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood since 2006, we have been training Chicago’s next generation of rock and roll stars.
Our School of Rock Show Team offers an elite, rewarding, educational experience for our dedicated musicians and their families, setting the standard for musicianship in our communities. Success in Show Team demands more than musical talent; it requires a mindset focused on commitment, personal growth, and collaboration. They play throughout the city at numerous street festivals and block parties, as well as embark on a multi-city national tour. Students must audition to be selected for the exclusive Show Team, which performs a mix of great rock songs from a variety of eras and styles.
A School of Rock set is an amazing thing to watch – our students bring the rock harder than most “pro” bands they share the stage with – and we have become a yearly fixture at many local summer festivals, including Taste of Chicago, Milwaukee Summerfest, Lollapalooza, Wicker Park Fest and Retro on Roscoe. We have also played many local Chicago rock clubs, such as Metro, Reggie’s, Schuba’s, Cubby Bear, and Tin Roof, and provided tour support for artists such as Incubus, Coheed and Cambria, Badflower, Bastille and Nathaniel Rateliff and Night Sweats.
The School of Rock Show Team students enchant older rock fans with their musical skill and mesmerize younger audiences with their infectious exuberance.
