- Sat. Sept. 5 - (7:30-10:30) - "Aston Brass Band" at The R Park Tavern, Ridley Park, PA (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100075941375325)
"And now for something completely different", the Aston Brass Band returns to the R Park Tavern.
Built on New Orleans style brass bands, we cover the Rebirth
Brass Band, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and many others, as well as
brass-jazz-funk, swing, Dixieland and 2nd line gospel.
New material we'll be rolling out includes:
- Our first original - "Just Sayin'" (funky street brass)
- 2 from the Lucky Chops band - "Buyo" and "Danza 2016" (Randy B. channels Leo Pellegrino)
- Rockin' Blues cover of Lil Ed and the Imperials "Bad All by Myself"
- Soulful Blues "Directly from My Heart to You" - the Frank Zappa version
Please join us
as we continue our quest to become the DelVal's hottest NOLA brass band (maybe the only one).
One
of Delco's hidden treasures, the R Park Tavern is a friendly and cozy
neighborhood tavern with a delicious and varied pub grub menu that the
locals rave about. The "R Park" is easy to get to, located
on Sellers Ave., just minutes from I-95 (Stewart Ave. exit). "R
Park" stands for Ridley Park of course, and we're hoping many of our
Delco friends can make it out to enjoy the R Park hospitality,
conviviality, food and drink, and our music.
