Kamloops's Music in the Park - July 10, 2024 update - Thanks to everyone that came out to Riverside Park last night. We had a great time playing some big band standards like Corner Pocket, Tuxedo Junction, Summertime and some contemporary charts like The Jazz Police and Count Bubba (by Gordon Goodwin), The Chicken and Route 66. We are taking a few weeks off and look forward to seeing you in the fall!
Beyond Brass would be thrilled to provide entertainment for your event. In terms of type and style of music, we play a variety ranging from Big Band classics of the 1940’s (In The Mood, Little Brown Jug, Tuxedo Junction), to the 1950’s (Rock Around the Clock, Bobby Darin-style Mack The Knife), to the 1960’s (Beatles I Saw Her Standing There, James Brown I Got You, Vehicle, and others) on up into the 1970’s and 80’s with popular tunes of the era including Stevie Wonder Superstition, Pick Up the Pieces and more.
We recently added some jump-swing tunes such as Zoot Suit Riot, Jump Jive and Wail, Cadillac Baby and a few others with local musician and blues singer-guitarist Davis Langevin. We have other styles in our repertoire including some Latin, polka, and waltz numbers. We have performed at awards ceremonies (Kamloops Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards) where we have done Oscars-style play the recipient on and off the stage fill-in music, and would be happy to do that if that is part of the plan for the evening. Let's us know how we can help make your event a huge success!
