The band is comprised of a total of 15 pieces, which include a dynamic brass section, a smoking rhythm section and the hottest female vocalists in Chicago. The band was the musical lure used to bring the 1996 democratic convention to Chicago. The same tactic was used in San Diego for the republican convention. The Gents represented the musical talent available in Chicago. The band’s clients included: - Michael Jordan - George Lucas & Mellody Hobson - The Clintons - The Pritzkers - Governors Edgar and Ryan - Mayor Daley - The Mirage - Treasure Island - The Bellagio The Gentleman of Leisure Band is a standup band, constantly dancing, moving, and playing the music that will make every event successful, fun and memorable.
