SUE DURBEC: Michael Hix and music of Chicago on tap for Theatre Arlington benefit





Is anyone ready for “A Night in the Windy City?” Theatre Arlington’s annual gala is coming up and this year’s event is not-to-be-missed by anyone who loves the band Chicago, whose members had a steady stream of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Michael Hix and  26 or 5 to 4, the only Chicago Tribute Band in Texas, will entertain guests at the gala.

Hix, from Arlington Music Theater, performed at the benefit last year and he was a great success, said chairwoman Diane

“Everyone wanted him back, so when we found out about his Chicago Tribute Band, we jumped on the idea for our theme,” K said.

“In addition to the great music of Chicago, the band plays a strong mix of classic rock and Motown,” Kinzlmaier said.
