Tower of Power, the world’s premier brass-rock/funk band, has taken the stage, continuing its uninterrupted activity since forming in 1968. Centered around Emilio Castillo and Stephen “Doc” Kupka, the group was formed in Oakland, California, and by the 1970s they dominated the era with hits such as So Very Hard to Go and You’re Still a Young Man, and through contributions to works by 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. A legendary, large-ensemble band delivering a powerhouse groove with solid brass and a tight rhythm section—be sure to experience it.
