MEKONG XPRESS + THE GET FRESH HORNS
March 14 @ 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM
The legendary Richmond supergroup emerges from deep space to bring y’all a galaxy-sized hunk of funk and soul.
RVA Mag writes: “Mekong Xpress and the Get Fresh Horns are one of Richmond’s grooviest collectives. They’ve bottled all the beauty and funk of the ’70s, strapped it to a rocket, and taken us along for the ride. Smooth and drifty, they make you feel like you’re cruising past stars with the windows down.”
Style Weekly writes: “The overall sound has a classic mid-’70s feel, somewhere in a sonic landscape where early Hall and Oates, Earth Wind and Fire, and The Headhunters overlap.”
The seven-piece ensemble features all-star players who have shaped the sound of too many iconic groups to mention. This group includes Andrew Rapisarda (guitar, vocals); Todd Herrington (bass, vocals); Kelli Strawbridge (drums, vocals); Ben White (keys, vocals); Bob Miller (trumpet, percussion) JC Kuhl (sax); and Toby Whitaker (trombone).
