Description du concert
Inspired by the New Orleans brass band tradition, the Heavyweights'original stance keeps one foot firmly rooted in the rich legacy of jazz, while one foot steps forward into the future. Like the music's originators, the Heavyweights are unafraid to incorporate influences from disparate areas of the musical spectrum, from pop hits of the day to original compositions, from R&B and funk throwbacks to the infectious rhythms of Latin America, all woven together with the thread of adventuresome sophistication.Individual Tickets: $25https://goo.gl/ZmYKjLOR Buy as part of a package with Chelsea McBride tickets and get both shows for $40!https://goo.gl/TTacx8

Biographie de Heavyweights Brass Band
The Heavyweights Brass Band have built a reputation as Canada's reigning champions
of feel-good horn music. Over the last decade they have toured extensively and shared
the stage with Trombone Shorty, The Roots, Galactic, and The Soul Rebels, among
many others. Their unique style never fails to move any audience, and has earned them
a loyal following from fans across all genres.
The secret to the Heavyweights reach can be found in the folk origins of jazz. Following
in the footsteps of the originators, their music is shaped not only by their environment
but by traditions dating back centuries, creating an alchemy which has universal appeal.
Happily at home on stage with such diverse artists as Jane Bunnett, Jay Douglas,
Giovanni Hidalgo, and Treme Brass Band, the Heavyweights roll with the punches and
always deliver a knockout blow.
Their third full length album, This City, was recorded in New Orleans and features an
abundance of Crescent City Talent, alongside a few perennial Heavyweights
collaborators. Joe Lastie (Preservation Hall) and Ashlin Parker (Trumpet Mafia) light it
up on the opening track, while the crafty Eugene Grant calls the shots. Roger Lewis
(Dirty Dozen Brass Band) steps in to wail, and Marla Dixon (Shotgun Jazz Band) leads
the dance party down on the corner. Add to this Canada's reigning queen of jazz, blues
and gospel Jackie Richardson and the iconic and legendary Kevin Breit on guitar, and
you have a record which will knock your socks off.
