Bio
Visionaire is a multi-faceted collaboration of 7 musicians that bring elements of funk, rock, jazz, soul, and blues to their overall sound. Each member contributes their own unique experiences, training, cultural differences and perspectives - boiling down to a unique and varied 'melting-pot' of funky urban rock.
Visionaire was created several years ago when Chris Ellison combined his rhythmic talents with the voice and MC expertise of E-Sean. Looking to create a new sound and new style the band morphed, transformed and finally evolved into the a seven piece multi-cultural sound that would define Visionaire.
Catchy lyrics, a horn section that will make you melt, and one of Chicago's tightest rhythm sections, Visionaire has
a sound that can have you bobbin your head and getting down on the dance floor. With influences ranging from The Chili Peppers and The Roots to James Brown and Jimi Hendrix creating a sound that trancends age and background to realize the vision of making great music for all to enjoy. Visionaire is a must-see band in Chicago.
Visionaire has an EP in the works and is surging forward, excited for what the future holds here in Chicago and elsewhere as we prepare for midwest and eastcoast tours, visiting your local music venues, bars, and festivals.
