Tower of Power, the world’s premier brass-rock/funk band, has been performing without a break since forming in 1968. Formed in Oakland, California around Emilio Castillo and Stephen “Doc” Kupka, they dominated the era in the 1970s with hits such as “So Very Hard To Go” and “You’re Still A Young Man,” and by contributing to the works of Aerosmith, Elton John, Little Feat, and others. Last year, they celebrated their 50th anniversary and released a new album, Soul Side of Town, their first new material in 15 years. This legendary large-ensemble band delivers a stunning groove built on solid brass and a tight rhythm section—be sure to experience it.
