"San Antonio Transit is exactly the type of band you want performing at your venue. Professional, responsive, communicative, excellent musicians, crowd pleasers - the works, all rolled into one. This phenomenal tribute to the band Chicago has it all and is a true testament to act they honor. It was a pleasure working with Mike Pinto and his fellow crew of musicians from the first note, to the very last. We have had three sold out shows."

"We saw them at Singing Waters Winery. There were times I couldn't tell the difference between SA Transit and the original Chicago. Just a incredible evening."
Gloria Passante LaPoint
"STUNNING!!! TRIBUTE TO CHICAGO FIVE STAR REVIEW!
I invited 20 of my most important business clients to a show in San Antonio. This was my 3rd time attending a show by San Antonio Transit. Many of my clients were former musicians and high school band instructors with high standards. SA Transit BLEW THEIR MINDS! They were spot on and you could "feel" the presence of Chicago in spirit. They would be a band that the Original Band would be honored to be represented by. Don't hesitate to hire them for your theater, corporate event or festival. They've sold out every event they've played and for good reason."
