Does Anyone Really Know?
This classic tune from Chicago is one of our all time favorites...but not just ours--our fans expect to hear it. It's really a signature number.
WatchOur Repertoire
While we're focused on playing soulful music but we cover a lot of territory including rhythm and blues, funk, soul and classic rock n roll. What's really great about Absoulute is the breadth of our repertoire and the popularity of the songs we cover. We play so many hits, hits that people know and love to sing along with and dance to.
