MACALAS
Our band will be releasing its first album this year. And so until the process is completed, our live performances will be limited. We do have a few shows booked (below) and so as recording and mixing finish I’m sure we’ll be booking more to support our original music, while still continuing to provide our terrific fans with a tasty selection our great covers.
MACALAS (ma-KAL-es), formed in late 2023. While our set list focuses on the music of the legendary progressive rock masters Emerson, Lake and Palmer, our musical reach has no defined boundaries. Besides performing our own music, we also MACALAS-IZE other arena rock masters as King Crimson, Genesis, Moody Blues, Procol Harem, etc. Click here to see some of the other great bands we cover.
We’d love to see you at an upcoming show. As a fan recently told us ours is ”A show like no other”
MACALAS’ line up is:
Bruce MacPhearson (MAC) - Keyboards and madness
Bill Calabrese (CAL) - Bass guitar, Acoustic guitar, Lead vocals

Capricorn LIVE!
The great Connecticut Transit Authority (2011-2021)
After 10 incredible years, our band played its final gig on December 4, 2021. We are blessed to have been recognized as being one of the finest and most authentic Chicago tribute bands. During our time together we developed an amazing fan base. It was their genuine love and support that made CTA such a special band. Please check out the video below of us performing at Daryl’s Hall’s Club.
We had the honor of playing at Daryl (Hall’s) House Club in Pawling, NY. Directly below is the full video from that show. The show was held, and live streamed, during COVID. So while there were only 50 people in attendance, we were told there were 10,000 viewers watching the live stream from all over the world. Skip around the video - I’m sure you’ll find a Chicago song you love. The music was produced live by the great Peter Moshay, Grammy winning Producer of Hall & Oats and so the mix and production - incredible!
CTA’s impeccable core four:
Bill Calabrese - Bass & Vocals,
Brett Calabrese - Guitar & Vocals,
Tom Barra - Keys & Vocals,
D. Las - Drums & Vocals
Our great horn section:
Evan Grey, Trombone & percussion
Tim Lewis, Sax, flute & percussion
Andre Foote, Trumpet & percussion
