Wintrust 40,000 Meals Tour
The show is part of Wintrust’s 40,000 Meals Tour, a regional campaign that has already provided more than 30,000 meals to food‑pantry partners in Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana. The Bomher Family Foundation also backs the tour, underscoring the community‑wide commitment to ending hunger.
“These concerts are about more than great music. They’re about coming together to fight hunger and support our neighbors,” said Matt Gambs, chief community impact officer at Wintrust. His statement reflects the tour’s dual purpose: entertainment and charitable impact.
What to expect on stage
For this performance, the Sons of Chicago have expanded their usual lineup with a four‑piece horn section, adding extra depth to the already rich sound of two guitars, a grand piano, organ, rhythm section and vocals. The setlist will feature Springsteen classics such as “Born to Run,” “Rosalita,” “Thunder Road” and “Dancing in the Dark,” alongside Seger favorites like “Old Time Rock & Roll,” “Katmandu,” “Like a Rock” and “Turn the Page.” The band also mixes in other well‑known tunes to keep the audience engaged.
Lead vocalist and bandleader Lucca Feracota, a Berklee College of Music graduate, emphasizes that the group is more than a tribute act. “We bring our own style to these songs while honoring the original artists,” he explained in promotional materials.
Venue highlights
