The Show

After an amazing performance by opening acts Classless Act and Joyous Wolf, it was hard to believe that the night could get much better. However, the supporting artists’ sets were just the tip of the iceberg of what the night was yet to become.

With the musicians on stage getting the music started, Dorothy Martin walked out with her hands in the air, dressed in all black leather and black sunglasses and yelled, “CHICAGO!!!”. The fans erupted in cheers and clapping as Dorothy went into their opening song, single “Down to the Bottom”. The setlist for the night included a mix of songs from Dorothy’s material for the night included songs from all three album releases: ROCKISDEAD, 28 Days In The Valley, and Gifts From The Holy Ghost, as well as the EP Thrive In The Darkness.

Highlights of the night:

• Cover of Eurythmics, “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
• As they went into the song “Raise Hell”, she asked, “House of Blues, are you ready to raise some hell tonight or what?”
• “I think we would like to do one more song… Should we do one more song?!” Chicago confidently roared a resounding, “YYYYAAAAA!!!!!” Dorothy closed with “Dark Nights”.

In conclusion, Dorothy brought the hard-rock to Chicago and Chicago loved it. The night brought lots of guitar jams, drums and awesome music. If you are ready to party with some great rock music, Dorothy is a band for you.
