CHICAGO, GET READY FOR SOME REAL LIVE MUSIC!

Chicago knows good music, and on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, the city gets a night of brass, funk, jazz, and hip-hop when LowDown Brass Band joins forces with Fonville x Fribush at Thalia Hall.

This isn't your typical hip-hop concert. It's a celebration of live musicianship, heavy grooves, improvisation, and the musical traditions that helped shape hip-hop culture.

LowDown Brass Band — Chicago's Own Brass-Funk Powerhouse

LowDown Brass Band brings a Chicago flavor to the brass-band tradition, mixing the energy of New Orleans street music with funk, soul, jazz, and hip-hop.

With a powerful horn section, driving percussion, and an unmistakable groove, the group has developed a reputation for performances that get audiences moving.

Their music reminds us of something important: hip-hop didn't develop in isolation. Funk, jazz, soul, and live instrumental music all helped create the foundation for the culture we celebrate today.

And LowDown Brass Band keeps that connection alive.

Fonville x Fribush — Soulful Grooves and Musical Chemistry

Joining the bill is Fonville x Fribush, a collaboration bringing together drummer Corey Fonville and keyboardist Sam Fribush.

Fonville is known for his dynamic drumming and work across jazz, funk, and contemporary music. Fribush brings an expressive keyboard style rooted in soul, jazz, and groove-based music.

Together, they create a musical experience that blends improvisation, rhythm, and serious instrumental talent.

For fans who appreciate producers, beatmakers, and musicians who know how to build a groove, this is a performance worth checking out.

Why CHI-RAP.COM Is Covering This Show

At CHI-RAP.COM, we cover more than rap records and drill videos.

We celebrate the DJs, producers, musicians, and musical influences that make hip-hop possible.

Before sampling became a defining part of hip-hop production, musicians were creating the drum breaks, basslines, and horn arrangements that would inspire generations of producers.

This concert brings those musical connections into a live setting.

Whether you're a fan of old-school hip-hop, jazz, funk, soul, or just appreciate a band that can really play, this event deserves a spot on your calendar.
