About

FANTASIA has been performing at private events, fund raisers, and corporate events for over 20 years.

We cover a broad range of music very well - music from the 1950's through hits on BillBoard's 2023 Adult Top 40 charts.

Our performance is 100% live. We do not use pre-recorded tracks.

We specialize in using live horns and vocal harmonies to provide a dynamic performance.

We use over 60 combinations of guitar, acoustic guitar, acoustic drums, electronic drums, piano, electric piano, organ, strings, synthesizer sounds, trumpet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone and flute.

This is why our music does not sound like guitar, bass, and drums over and over again playing songs with a different rhythm and vocal, but with the same overall sound.

Our 6-piece band provides the sound of a 9-piece band because 3 of us play an instrument and sing.

We strive to honor the unique sound, energy, and mood of every song, so that you and your guests will experience the music the way you know and love.

FANTASIA is one of the best entertainment values in Chicago.

Please visit our website for live video and over 80 song samples.

Perfect Wedding Band

We used Frank and the Fantasia Band for our daughters wedding and they were fantastic. Frank was so great to work with and so helpful in planning everything. He was flexible and even learned a new song for the Father-Daughter dance. The band had people on the dance floor all night. From young to old - everyone had a great time and was raving about how good these guys were. If you are looking for a great wedding band that can do it all- this is it!

We are so glad we picked Fantasia for our wedding band! They did an amazing job. Everyone enjoyed their music and was dancing all night. We received tons of compliments about them from our guests. Frank was easy going and great to work with. We requested for them to play a song not on their playlist, and they were more than happy to learn the sheet music and work with us to make sure it went well. We are so appreciative of them going above and beyond for us. From our conversations with Frank, it felt like Fantasia is made up of great people who just love to play music. They were exactly what we were looking for in a band! Thank you, Fantasia!

Fantasia was incredible! I’m not exaggerating when I say that I could not believe their sound. Being that both me and my bride are music people (I’m a singer/guitarist, and my wife is a music teacher) we thought “How could we not have a band?” We had already decided to go with Fantastic DJs as our DJ, but they do a combo deal with Fantasia, so we started looking at the DJ / Band combo (which we ended up doing).

We weren’t able to hear the band at one of their gigs, but we checked out the band’s website (don’t let the dated website fool you - they ARE a party band), and the recordings sounded great. We were intrigued. We met with the bandleader, Frank, who was extremely nice (and became a pleasure to work with). We made a couple of requests, and he was totally willing to make our requests a reality. The biggest being our request that the band play during our first dance, and even though the song was not a wedding song at all (Muse - Starlight), the band ended up learning the song, and it sounded fantastic!

Now, I said that we weren’t able to hear the band live before the wedding, and we knew this was a bit risky, but we should not have worried at all. The group was totally professional, and I personally heard the following conversation no less than 3 times outside the hall:

Wedding guest #1: “When is the band coming back on?”
Wedding guest #2: “That IS the band.”

And, it’s not just that they’re good, technique-wise. They know how to keep people dancing. You may not think it by looking at them, or their website (sorry Frank), but they are totally a party band. That dance floor was packed all night!
