Bio

Since 1993, World Class Noise has mesmerized Chicago and the Midwest with their unique brand of soul music that truly shakes your soul and leaves you wanting more. In this era of throwaway bands and trendy styles that come and go, WCN proves that great music and great musicianship still count.

The dynamic, passionate lead vocals of Marc Pulido and Leslie Hunt take the band to the next level with their beautiful blend. They can give you a sultry ballad or a rollicking romp through the land of funk. The band is driven by the relentless grove and style of drummer Lee Taylor and bassist Gabe Bott. Guitarist Chris Alford plays innovative and multi-colored solos, while keyboardist Paul Rau provides the canvas on which this artisan band paints their sound. Finally, Rob Collazzo and Doug Corcoran, the Tough Love Horns, seal the deal with a thunderous roar that has been the trademark of this amazing band for over a decade.

Their signature sound, crafted for over 12 years on their own 8-CD catalog, adds to Chicago’s reputation as one of the world’s great cities for original musical talent. They’ve covered soul classics by such chart-topping artists as Earth Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Santana and Steely Dan, and today’s hits by Alicia Keys, Sheryl Crow and Maroon 5.

Find out what Chicago’s Navy Pier, the Bulls, the White Sox, Old St. Pat’s Block Party, Tom Marker, Lin Brehmer and Marty Lennartz of WXRT 93.1 FM and countless other Midwest music festivals, colleges and corporate clients already know… World Class Noise delivers the goods, period.
