Toronto-based Chicago tribute band Brass Transit performs live at historic Meaford Hall Arts & Cultural Centre on Friday, December 12, at 8 pm.
Sure to deliver an unforgettable concert, Brass Transit is comprised of eight of Canada’s most in-demand musicians and singers, who have gathered together out of a common love for the greatest jazz-rock group of all time.
The dynamic, crowd-pleasing show includes all the hits from Chicago’s golden age. With a world-class horn section, a rocking rhythm section and vocals stacked sky-high, Brass Transit transports its audience back to the freewheeling days of the Seventies. The band includes veterans of the Hall-of-Fame rock and soul acts like the Drifters, Sam and Dave, Aretha Franklin, Ben E. King, the Marvelettes, Frankie Valli, Mary Wilson, Martha Reeves, Little Anthony & the Imperials, Del Shannon, and the Mamas and the Papas.
Brass Transit’s performances have been so impressive, that even the members of Chicago began to take notice. “The guys from Chicago invited us out to a few shows last year,” says trumpet player Tony Carlucci. “It’s developed into this little relationship. Anytime both bands are in the same area, we’ve gotten together. They’ve become fans of the band. And especially of our lead singer, Neil. They are in awe of him and what he has been able to do. But it’s great to talk with them. We exchange tips. They’re really nice guys.”
Tickets are just $40 through the Box Office. Group discounts are available for parties of 6 or more at the time of ticket purchase.
